One Response to Discovery of 408 New Mammal Species Gives Insight Into Our Dependency on the "Economy of Nature"

    About the Economy of Nature – the Idaho Reopublicans want to wipe it off the face of the earth.
    Anyone who may have been wondering about WHO might fill Larry Craig’s role (shoes – uh oh) as the most vile and despicable lying Idaho official – meet Jim Risch.

    Here is an article featuring Risch lying about wildlife “Pelosi’s mouse”– to the gullibleIdaho Legislature — the fracas over this seems to be designed to downplay the value of any critters.

    Of course, the esteemed ID delegation would NEVER lie about wolves, especially if they are de-listed, now would they?

‎"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."

~ Edward Abbey
