Liberals are known for lying. They are also known for projections

" Think of the continual misuse of "loose" for "lose," for example."

Oh, that one just drives me nuts every time I see it! It isn't just here either. I see that error often, and virtually everywhere on the Net.

I get a sardonic bemusement at articles like this, having published a book on the thesis of this article over twelve years ago. The book offered real solutions, as opposed to the implied, "things would be better if we were running it" thesis here.

I published an article for "Operation America" on FR in 2001 (now here discussing the flawed technical bases and real motives for enviro-racketeering in the Klamath basin. Nothing has changed except that the green goals are bigger than ever. It will be of some tragic irony to see what happens to the tribes that served as foils for this gambit when that river floods. Interestingly, although the fishery will be damaged by removal of those dams, a good flood would at least break up some of the gravels that they need to spawn. There was an easier way to get that done that might even make money, but nobody seems interested.

Neo-Lysenkoism in the service of Luddism.

No, it's not. It's about money. Luddism merely serves as the ideological glue to get their minions doing the logically indefensible on the cheap.

I have been involved in this issue for more than a decade and Spady is right on the mark. The EIR was shocking. The scientists would come to one conclusion in their official panel report and the writer of the EIR would completely and glaringly misstate what they had said to support their dam removal agenda. Our County has indicated that it will proceed with a lawsuit I they continue with the document.

There is also another issue. The Upper Basin water is heavily nutrient rich from the millions of years of migratory birds using the shallow lakes. The dams currently act as settling ponds to remove organic matter and clean up the water. If dams are removed, the quality of the water will take a nose dive. The high summer temperatures will also create algae blooms that will remove the dissolved oxygen in the water. Between water quality and sediment, I believe there is a pretty good chance that dam removal could extirpate coho salmon and likely impact steelhead, Chinook and sturgeon as well.

You can thank auto-correct software for much if it. A little more belongs to the phones and pads that post here, they are more difficult to proof read, then maybe you can just read for intent and rather than content.

Freepers for the most part are getting long of tooth and have poor or declining eyesight as well.

Propaganda, should make you mad, not grammar or spelling.

Thanks for the comments about the problem. They made sense.

As regards the last sentence, both propaganda and poor English anger me.

Truth is most people learn grammar by reading good writings, not from diagramming sentences. Not a lot of good exemplars in news today so people adapt, sad but true.

Speech to text will soon replace typing along with all the errors that produces.

Civ, I don't know what type of subject you're pinging on this thread but I might be interested in being on it since feral government takeover of the scientific communityTM is a subject of some interest to me.

Also, if you or anybody else is aware of a specific keyword for articles that expose and/or showcase what might otherwise be classified as "junk science" in a different context. In any case, if there's not a keyword for these types of articles, might I suggest "politicalscience"? Descriptive don't you think???

Which begs the question, “Are some government agencies manipulating science to advance political agendas?”

Have bears been known to defecate in remote wooded areas?
