John,



>>Good political speak, to act like you are doing something about relevant issues, when you're really not.



In this case, it’s the speak that “sells” (as determined by PR and focus groups) and it is intended to create a “false” issue to “disguise” the real issue of the intent of this stuff…Remember, this is about invasive species as it relates to biodiversity conservation AND the World Heritage Site status of the Everglades National Park. The invasive species issue is a subset of biodiversity and the reason why IT will not go away…It has been a part of the agenda since 1968 when the MAB Program was first conceptualized…



>>Complete lack of political courage to take on a group with almost no ability to defend itself.



You don’t need courage when no matter what you say no one in the media will do even the slightest amount of investigation…Or ask you any tough questions. These days, demagoguery is the speech de jour…Whether it’s true or not…



Have a good weekend,

Jim.
