The Indians taught early American's that fish were good fertilizer.
Does anybody know how many farmers lost their farms because of the governments BS ?
Maybe this year we can have a Klamath Water Party instead of a Boston Tea Party , and dump the water that these American's have already paid for.
It has to be obvious to You people by now that bush is CORPORATE AMERICA and there is nothing he won't do for profit. Including the war in Iraq , where him and his old man stand to make money through the Carlyle Investment Corporation and United Industries.
After all the new president of Afghanistan "was" an employee of Unocal , a huge oil corporation. Wonder who killed the vice president ?
You can run but You can't hide , sooner or later YOUR lives will be wasted by these bastards. When do we quit calling ourselves American's and Patriots and act like it ?

The Klamath farmers have probably fared worse under Bush than they would have under Gore. I still think Bush was the lesser of two evils, but his margin shrinks daily . . .

What I`m I missing here---this is going to be a dry year, before so wacko judge cuts off 100% of all the farmer`s water, the Bush admin. ASKES farmers to join a program that pays them to not use Klamath water. Seems to me that a hell of a lot better than what happened last time.

Unbeliveable! This is a private man made lake paid for by the farmers not a natural habitat for anything.
These were people who had a long term vision.
To protect the future for there families.
Just so some govt. twirps who have no vision can destroy them.
BOGUS

Why should THEY have to do it. Where are the farmers?

The farmers would then be breaking the law. It may lead to more trouble involving many, many more people all over the West.

Then You have fallen for their trap.
The only ones with enough money to make it to the end of the race , are the banksters choices. You get bankster choice number one or bankster choice number two , either way the banksters win and we lose.
I said before the election that putting bush in the Whore House would be the same as putting satan himself there.
I know most people won't understand that and will think I'm some kind of radical religious freak , but I think I see things real plain. And little bit by little bit others will see what I see. The only thing is , by the time most people are able to see the picture , it will be too late.
Just like the German people with Hitler........................
It's all a matter of NATIONAL SECURITY.
Yeah Right!

It's a little early to forecast whether the ultimate outcome is going to be "better than what happened last time". From my perspective, Bush could have accomplished a lot more. Whacko judges can cut 100% of the water because whacko agencies under Bush's control create the record that enables them to do so.

This story is making me ill.....literally. The saddest thing is that these people are amongst the finest on earth when you meet them, and I'm not just saying that. Many of them left their lives behind to come to Florida to help people they never even met.
Is our country is so effen upside down that a fish is more important than than their lives? OUTRAGEOUS.
Those farmers need to start getting rough, real rough. The bastards that are after their land will never let up until they're forced to. They've lost their humanity to the point where they'll sacrifice a human child for a slimey fish that found it's way into a lake that the child's parents created in the first place.
The politicians that can do something about it will sit back and watch. Everyone around here was so happy when we got Gail Norton. Bah. That phoney ho/pig is why the people in the 8 1/2 square mile area are about to be bulldozed (it's for the environment you know).
Don't you people ever forget what you're seeing happen here, let it burn into your brain.

Question 1: If you water your fields from wells, doesn't that draw down the water table, which would in turn draw down the Basin?
Question 2: Isn't the sucker fish a bottom feeding fish, in which case the Basin would have to be extremely low to affect it?

If you put up the site at pracfl.org than you should know that Steve over at WINK was ranting about your site yesterday.
Good work.

Hey man! Good to hear from you again.
Hehe. That guy is one major asswipe from Hades, unreal.
He brought tons of traffic to our site (boycotting his station), dumbass that he is.
I'm far from done with him. If you're interested in helping beat this clod back under his rock, freepmail me.
