does this qualify obama for the darwin award?
They've been shutting down logging in the northwest forever over ths polka dot owl and then they find it was another owl causing the supposed problem.
And that is indicative of many of these stupid enviro iniatives, have some half baked study done, file suits in federal courts and shut something or another down, such a logging, irrigation, oil drilling or what have you and rarely is a better study done that proves their initial claim was a bunch of hooey.
Tearing down productive river dams in the northwest that provided irrigation water and emmission free hydroelectric power definately is darwin award material.
At to that the fact that some wwi and wwii families settled there with the promise of irrigation water forever, spent generation settling, building homes, canals and irrigation pipelines at their own expense and were then told to go take a hike makes in crimminally stupid as far i'm concerned.
But oh wait, the treehuggers can get that feel good feeling running down their legs, that makes it worth it.
