Scott, try seeing people as individuals, not groups, imagine talking one on one with someone and saying to them:

You are more conservative. You are a bigot. You've called me faggot.

And see how very silly your broad brush strokes are; and really, "colored", are you also still using negro?

Gereng, you might want to consider what the logging industry did to the spotted owl, the spotted owl never asked to be included as an endangered species, unfortunately the mismanagement by the forestry industry and their "regulators" allowed the habitat to be degraded to the point the spotted owl was placed on the list.

The sucker/Coho is another example of this, their habitat is not being degraded because of the actions of the fish. The Klamath Basin is a historic marsh that has been manipulated to "create" an agricultural area. There is not enough water to sustain the type of ag that is there. And land in continually going into production. Ag, can happen, but as Bill Kittredge has pointed out, it can't happen on the levels that happen in (this) basin.

What needs to happen here is a new way of looking at the business of Ag and conservation.
