And, my best wish, that the natives survive, and that we survive as well.

I see this whole thing more and more as a series of stepping stones and not one great final solution.

And if there is a question as to whether ESA impact measures can be altered, the answer is YES. I was alive during the original ESA legislation and think we have the cahones to enact change, as citizens now.

First off Boater has no boat!

Second he copies and pastes diatribe from every dissenting direction and has nothing constructive to add, he just stands on the sidelines and throws stones at those in the trenches.He has not come up with one original idea himself and seems to be paid to sit here day in and day out being nonconstructive, unoriginal and miasma in his approach to discourage anyone one else from forming their own opinion, or doing anything but the old standard that has put us in this position.
