ESA suit on wolverines-

The Bush//Kemphthorne Interior Dept. of course rejected the petition to list the wolverine. The evidence is that the decision was made at high levels of Interior, not at the scientific level. Is anyone surprised?

    Never expected that from you Ralph.

    When it comes to ecological concerns its science first, politics later (or never).

  2. John,

    What didn’t you expect from me?

  3. John says:

    “Sue the bastards again”
    Though I’m not saying it was not appropriately placed.

  4. frank says:

    All people get frustrated. I assume you are Ralph. We just have to hope this eventually ends.

Quote

‎"At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour."
