There are so many excesses today in the name of the ESA and many environmental causes. So much extremism and one sided restrictions that really are not necessary I don't blame these people for lashing out. Notice how many lawyers are in that group?

Ever seen a mudhole with newly planted stumps and artificial "habitat" required of the developers? No fish ever lived there and never will but we MUST restore the habitat. Sometimes it is not only silly but unfairly punitive. Don't blame these people for wanting atleast some relief. They are not all evil. So many of the most extreme groups are chock full of hypocrits. Property has gotten so expensive as a result of some of these extreme "cause related" restrictions that only the rich can enjoy the natural environment everyone is so proud of protecting. Sorry to say it but blame the lawyers.
