re: posts 41 and 42. Yet you characterize him as a "whacko."

I personally do not know much about the Florida water situation that you keep referring to, but I DO know about the land grabs and the lying and stealing that the land management agencies do in cahoots with the eco-fascists.

How can i take you or your point seriously when you label Henry Lamb a "whacko?"

Have you BOTHERED to look into (read) such things as the Convention on Biological Diversity, Agenda 21, the Rio Declaration, the Man and the Biosphere Program, the Seville Strategy, the upcoming Rio +10 greenie love fest at Johannesburg later this month, Smart Growth, "sustainable development," etc.

I have. I have read a number of UN documents and many articles by the extreme left eco-fascist crowd. In fact, the eco-anarchists are coming to my town next week. (Baltimore and DC). They have a nationwide tour going on.

What is your response to that? Or, are you like most liberals - they have a small brain and refuse to learn?

'Pod

PS. I WILL take it as an action to learn about this water issue. I also have newspaper articles detailing the effort of some Floridians to turn big chunks of the state into Wildlands core and buffer areas. Suggest you check it out.

I don't think summer can see the forest for the trees so to speak, I have a real feeling she has been blinded by rhetoric and propaganda that the real wacko's are so good at spinning!

Brit's post #43 I think, speaks volumes!!!!!!!!!! Why does not the government find the technology to use the water that surrounds and I mean surrounds that area instead of "taking" land from private landowners? I would much rather see my tax dollars used for such, instead of destroying families, their homes and their heritages and livelihoods!

Summer, get the tape, a documentary done several years ago by Jessic Lang now deceased, titled, "For the Good of the All".......that should help to really open your eyes!

Re your post #57 -- I personally do not know much about the Florida water situation that you keep referring to,

Ask Henry Lamb about it, Ever since I posted to countrydummy a quote from GW about the benefits of the Everglades Restoration, and then Henry Lamb wrote countrydummy in reply, suddenly, then, Henry Lamb writes an essay about the need to provide water for the population -- very good, Henry, finally, you are reading some of the years of research being quoted by GW and done by Army engineers.

sauropod, you are calling me a liberal and I don't know why. I am posting about a conservative candidate for FL governor 99.9% of the time on this forum, so either you never read my posts, or you mistakenly think Jeb Bush is a Democrat candidate for gov, which he is not, FYI. And, yes, he has been honored by environmental groups, but, as I keep pointing out here, he also has a very strong record on protecting private property rights.

Please note I do not have a beef with you or with this movement about the need to protect private property rights. I think that is an important cause. But, you people dilute the cause and your own voice when you rush to include every single situation in it. IMO, Henry Lamb is making a huge mistake by including this Everglades matter in his nationwide protest. I have tried to help the people who are about to lose their land in this county, but, they only want to protest - protesting, BTW, is great IMO, but, it is better if you have a message the community can rally around. And, there is such an issue here, locally, that well might unite more people IMO, but, again, never mind. I have suggested it already and they don't understand it. No problem. Good luck to them.
