So is this just one more case of the Bush administrations's attack on nature?

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued a new proposal to protect critical habitat for the federally and state-protected Peirson's milk-vetch, as mandated by federal court. The new proposal identifies 16,108 acres of land in the Algodones Dunes as habitat necessary for the survival and recovery of the rare plant, representing a 25-percent reduction from the current critical habitat designation. It further restricts the areas that would be enforced for conservation of the plant, which is found nowhere else in the United States save on a portion of southern California's Algodones Dunes.Located in the Sonoran desert of southeastern California's Imperial County, the scenic and remote Algodones Dunes are the largest dune ecosystem in the United States. The dunes harbor at least 160 different animal and plant species, many of which are found nowhere else in the world. http://www.enn.com/net.html?id=2066

  1. Bush is crazy, I can't believe he has any supporters left since he has betrayed so many key principles both of the Republican Party and of the American people in general.  Apparently his approval rating is around 20% now, but that still seems so high!


  2. Oh the humanity. How very awful. How dare he. I think a petition should be circulated for California to be annexed by Mexico. Secede now. No more being part of the backward USA. Wait, there is one. Sign it now:

  3. no you are incorrect. this is a part of bush's war on terror.  cutting back natural habitats reduces areas where the terrorists can plan their strikes from.

  4. I would recomment giving Bush this info since I have lots of info that I think many will find quite helpful and enlightening:

    http://360.yahoo.com/blorm_multaeeneea_l... (For tons of inspirational info)

    http://ecowellness.multiply.com/ (For all the environmental info)

    Let us all strive for a greener/brighter future by helping to create a solid foundation for future generations to build upon, so we can hand them a beautiful world, filled with never ending awe and wonders!!

    Where peoples differences and uniqueness are accepted, where we all live as one, helping one another so that we can all play our own mysteriously beautiful melodies in the never ending, awe inspiring, song of life :-)

    I truly have faith in humanity and believe that someday our lives and the world in which we live will truly be transformed for the better.

  5. Is the glass half empty or half full.

    You indicate in your own question that they are protecting over 16,000 acres of habitat.

    That is a lot of habitat.

    I would not consider that to be an attack on nature by any stretch of the imagination.

  6. The man has no idea what he is doing and never has. He basically goes against anything that has to do with science and facts. He's a moron. He lives in his own little world where there are no environmental problems, but yet he seems to think that terrorists are everywhere and they are attacking everything.
