Yup, you heard CORRECTLY.

The fact that this population of Gopherus may have respiratory disease belies the fact that these are sentient beings, a fact that seems to be overlooked in this case. Developers ALWAYS have huge amounts of leverage..due in part to the potential PROFIT made by the state, city and county authorities.

They say money talks and _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ walks.

The one thing that I have noticed in the past year is that developers have run willy nilly over conservation efforts.
And for those of you that voted Bush, yes I am talking from the top down. Logging has increased, and old growth forests are now fair prey.

Government intrusion into what people do with THEIR land IS a huge issue, and I tend to agree with Eric in saying that it should be limited, on the other hand, the FAUNA that lives on said land isnt really the property owners, it is a dowery for FUTURE generations, which can be ruined and destroyed for temporary gain.

I think we need to just pool our resources and buy up the state of Florida......

Come'on guys....we can do it.!

I can pledge..(Fred digs deep in right pocket) the following:

1) $50.00 cash
2) A turban snail shell(Welcome to Calif!)
3) Two sticks of Wrigleys Spearmint gum
4) A peanut butter cookie from last week?Egahds!

I know what your thinking, I'm off to wash laundry now as we speak
