Maybe they can call Detroit and ask them to float California a loan? Both Detroit and California are about to find out the real cost of everything that the government does for “free.”

I’d feel a lot sorrier about this if it were happening in another state. But welcome to your future, California. You vote for more government, you get more government. And less of everything else.

“…now that logging, mining, and fishing have been all but killed…”

Don’t forget legitimate agriculture here, Phineas. While not on life support yet, judicial constraints (salmon runs) and environmental activism (against any fertilizing or use of pesticides) have headed the rich farming areas of the north in the same direction.

So what would happen if the company decided not to abide by the decision? Suppose 100, or a 1000, or 5000 Californians showed up and put up a defensive perimeter around the business and said “Molon Labe”? I can’t imagine anyone in California actually doing that but do wonder if at some point the Government Of the People, By the People, and For the People will overstep far enough to create the conditions that force people to respond. Patrick Henry once said, and I quote” The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain government. It appears this has been forgotten by many of those in power today and the next “Boston TEA Party” is only one overstepping rule or regulation away.

This is really not surprising. Since when have liberals or environmentalists ever let facts or promises get in the way of their agendas?

How soon do you suppose before there’s an overgrowth of the oysters, which then will cause who-knows-what kind of other natural disaster/unintended consequence?

But that’s okay; a hundred-year-old business, who-know-how-many livelihoods, and the price of some tasty seafood, all has been ruined.

Mission Accomplished.

I remember that scientist the Park Service used. He sat between me and Sasquatch on the UFO.

Sounds like another implementation of Agenda 21.

“They didn’t say our research was wrong. They just said it was incomplete,” Jarvis said. “What there really is here is a disagreement among scientists about the level of impact on the environment. That does not mean that one side is guilty of misconduct.”

Says the guilty. - Lorica

The department of the inferior is led by the most inferior of all,
the short balding fool call with a cowboy hat. He must think he is a law unto himself.
