What are you talking about?  Those rules are for the little people.  Bloomberg and I are sitting down right now for some owl, drizzled in melted baby seal fat, and washed down with a 60oz Big Gulp.  Oh, and for dessert, the mayor is having a glazed doughnut.

Um, this sounds a little obvious. But if the spotted owl survived a raging forest fire that went through, why would it be threatened by fixing a water pipe?

I see you have been to lib's 101 on killing jobs and people.   

A conundrum:

What if it was discovered that the spotted owl ate snail darters?  Who gets saved?

This why I have to stay away from the computer when I'm drinking. This whole thread reminds me that millions have been spent on studies, lawsuits, etc., here in my county, over a proposed highway that's supposed to be going through. The entire project is in limbo because some snail lives in a swamp that the highway goes through. Mind you, the swamp wouldn't be destroyed at all. It would involve placing cement pilings in the swamp, with a raised road surface above.

I get so pissed off at this stuff anyway. Add a few cocktails, and I'm boucing off the ceiling.

You hit the nail!
When I was working the Spotted owl program, we found the owl prospered in areas that had been clear cut, or a fire had gone through.
The bird could see more ground after the devastation.
In areas that had too many owls, the owls moved inland, one even made a nest in a K-mart sign.

They never were threatened or in danger of any kind, the libs used it as an excuse, just as they are here.

About a decade ago, the Jarbridge Shovel Brigade showed the way! I was working in Elko NV at the time and it was a pretty impressive sight to behold!



Today, the Shovel Of Solidarity serves as a reminder that "you can fight city hall" - if you have the balls for it, that is!

I think I started a thread months ago on the obfuscation by the Feds on this water line.

You know they were looking for some excuse, ANY excuse to stop this thing...looks like they found it.

Some park service flunky allegedly see's a spotted owl...yeah, right.

  That's just plain evil. I love it!

Not evil. Just business as usual. It would require a ten year study, billions of dollars, and a brand new government department.
