"Is this a wildlife refuge or a potato refuge?" said Jim Waltman of The Wilderness Society. It's a human refuge, dolt. Human needs come first. A slogan that should be branded on your forehead...

It is very clear that environmentalists consider themselves to be at war against the rest of society. I think it's past time the rest of society reciprocate. The Klamath farmers should join and collectively sue the collective pants off the environmentalist organiztions. Their "terrorist" tactics have had a severe negative impact on the Klamath region.

" ' The laws the way they are and the politics the way they are, farming is going to be part of our life,' said Phil Norton, manager of the national wildlife refuges straddling the Oregon-California"YEAH...."DARNED LAWS....DARNED POLITICIANS...now we have to WORK WITH the Klamath Falls farmers instead of just throwing them out...
"WHERE'S THE JUSTICE," Phil asks? </sarcasm>

"The laws the way they are and the politics the way they are, farming is going to be part of our life Yeah. No Farming=No Food=No Life. So, yes, farming is going to be a part of your life.
I swear, people are getting weirder every day.

Aha! It now becomes clear. The whole Klamath water issue was not about fish at all. It was about forcing farmers off of their land to turn it back into a wildlife refuge. I am outraged! My great grandfather farmed in Oregon from 1863-1892 and only moved to Calfirnia for the health of his youngest child who had asthma and needed the dryer climate. Who are these "johnny-come-latelies" to decide that farming doesn't belong in Oregon?

Water to irrigate most of the Klamath Reclamation Project, which includes the refuge farmlands, was shut off last summer during a drought to reserve water for ALLEDGELY threatened and endangered fish.
(Big Sigh.........
How many things do I have to tell our reporters that without facts, one has to say (to CYA), "ALLEDGELY.")
