this land is your land

this land is my land, from California, to the New York island, from the redwood forest, to the Gulf Stream waters....


well there some things I don't understand...Chaz Bono, Pastor James Blanco, Mr. Wimpy...I don't get those three at all....

and some things I do understand..like Rick Perry and Michele Bachman who are in the process of canceling each other out of the presidential race!!

yup..I think people are finally getting hip to those who would bullshit them....

like relocating sea otters, creating a no-fly zone for golden eagles at the Channel Islands, restoring bald eagles at the Channel Islands by killiing thousands of other animals, and then when one bald eagle flies in to visit the Santa Barbara zoo, biologists panic and relocate him to..to...Shasta??


the Parks Service and Nature Con (SUPPORTERS OF BP WHO POLLUTED THOSE GULF STREAM WATERS) are chopping 2000 eucalyptus trees on Santa Cruz island to "restore" a wetlands....removing those trees will destroy valuable habitat for raptors, butterflies and many other NATIVE species, but the mindset of the biologists over on the islands is to demonize and destroy plants and animals that don't fit their whacked out vision of what the California used to look like.....of course, they ignore that fact that they shouldn't be here, either

well, the islands should be for hunting and ranching, for flower watching, for hiking, for natives and non natives, for pigs and elk, golden eagles, bald eagles and foxes...

so the otters are in the news and Wall Street greed is in the news..I love the protests!! Capitalism is no good unless honest people are involved....environmentalism is no good unless smarter people are involved....relocating otters was a dumb idea...we can't control the ocean...but there are folks working to reduce ocean pollution and exploitation....

because this land was made for you and me...

The eucalyptus trees in Montecito raised the ground water table and changed a desert wasteland with a few shrubs and oaks into the green jungle it is today. Is that evil??
Maybe we should put a tax on eucalyptus trees if they're so bad. I wonder how many plants down-under came from California?

What?! Evil terrorists are in our own backyard and the Park Service doesn't even know this?!?!
