Well, given the ever increasing rate of cascading extinctions, I'm sure it's highly correlated with the rate at which scientists declare new species ;-) As a matter of fact, there IS a correlation.......and I don't find it very funny. (In fact, I doubt it's keeping up...) Much like your reading. But of course, that's beside the point in the context of this article. The article clearly stated that the efforts to keep and expand the populations of gila and apache trout were in no way going to disappear. Indeed the people behind the supposed bad proposal wanted to _better_ use their time and efforts to accomplish this very thing. So again, what's so bad with what they proposed (and apparently are going to do)? Article? What article? Wolfgang who hasn't got much time for ephemera. |

Oh, and BIOYA, you New York Times reading, Al Franken listening lib. ;-) When the Presidency and the Congress are controlled by the opposing party, and when their record is deplorably pathetic and even criminal, you run your campaign against that record. That's the way it is, the way it's always been, and the way it always will be. Have you been hiding under a rock, or what? BTW, would you describe those lying "Swift Boat Veterans" ads as anti-Kerry? -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |

If Howard Dean keeps talking like he did Sunday on Meet the PRess I'm
sending them lots of money. He called Delay a crook, Limbaugh a hypocrit and Bush a Liar. In a news artical the next day he refused to retract any of it. Larry L wrote: "Ken Fortenberry" wrote I cannot for the life of me ever figure out why so many folks who claim to be concerned with protecting our outdoor heritage can vote Republican. The Democratic Party called me last night asking for more money and I found myself saying first, "I don't have any, my kid is going to college." Pressed further I was amazed to find myself saying, "Well it's more than just not having any. I'm tired of bitching as the major action of the Party. Bush is THE worst president of my lifetime, we all know that, even most Republicans know it. But the Democrats fail to see that "anti-Bush" is not the leadership that will lead us out of the abyss. This country needs positive leaders heading towards positive goals. Show me a Democratic Party that really stands up and says 'This is what we stand for' and one that works towards those goals instead of one that spends 99% of it's resources on bitching and I'll find some money." I truly believe that most people, regardless of voting history, are dissatisfied with the idiot we have and his thug buddies. But that dissatisfaction is proven to not be enough to lead to change. We need leaders we can actively support, not just ones that 'aren't as bad as the other guy.' |

That's the way it is, the way it's always been, and the way it always will be. .. . . so you're saying my statement is true. I'm glad we agree. Have you been hiding under a rock, or what? Hmmmm. . . if it's warm and dry, I might give it a go. It couldn't be worse than the crappy weather we've been having here in New England. BTW, would you describe those lying "Swift Boat Veterans" ads as anti-Kerry? Absolutely. For the record, and I've said this before, both side's campaigns were pitifully negative and sucked big time. Which brings me back to my first point: if the Dems had placed someone who could convince voters he/she "could feel their pain", they would have had a victory. Instead they placed a holier-than-thou, nose-in-the-air snob in the arena who didn't connect with the voters. -- TL, Tim --------------------------- http://css.sbcma.com/timj/ |

From things you've written here, I understand that you're a working man, that you've seen hard times, and maybe you're still seeing them. I also know that you're an outdoor sportsman. A vote for the GOP, and for Bush in particular, is a vote for crony capitalism, for gargantuan CEO salaries, for tax cuts for the very rich, for record deficits, for outsourcing of American jobs, for hypocritical "values" that these clowns violate at every opportunity, for war profiteering, for the rape of the environment, and for lying us into a costly and interminable and unnecessary war, among other things. I have to conclude that you're a fool. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |

If I'd thought he meant anything he said about the environment. It was close. I didn't think he was as dumb as Bush (the trees are stealing our water) about it, but neither did I have any reason to believe he had a clue or an urge about protecting natural resources. And the one statement of his that I saw / heard on TV about the gun issue convinced me that he was pretty clueless in general. He just wasn't good enough to vote for. Had he won, I'd not have wanted to be any part of the responsibility for his being president. Despising Bush and the neo-cons just wasn't quite enough of a kicker. I voted Libertarian. Or Grassroots. I've forgotten which (not due to smoking anything interesting, either). They're my usual choices when the major parties don't make me tingle. At least they come somewhat close to showing my feelings about political platforms. Cyli r.bc: vixen. Minnow goddess. Speaker to squirrels. Often taunted by trout.

I *had* concluded you were interested in conducting some sort of civil discourse, but I guess I'll have to just settle for concluding you're an ass. -- Tim --------------------------- http://css.sbcma.com/timj/ |
