.....For some reason our nearsighted Fish and Game and National Forest
Service
can't see the advantage of having clear running streams with stable banks
and clean water with natural reproducing fish......

The problem goes well beyond the auspices of a few federal or state
agencies, all the way back to the institution of a form of government that
allows the putative elected representatives of ranchers, loggers, miners,
professional guides, and sundry other multi-generational welfare parasites
to have a voice equal to (and all too often greater than) that of rational
human beings. It ain't gonna go away soon......or, not without some much
needed bloodshed, anyway.

but hell, that ain't ****....just wait till the water wars start!
