What water, wetland protection is all about
"A little fill here and there may seem to be nothing to become excited about. But one fill, though comparatively inconsequential, may lead to another, and another, and before long a great body may be eaten away until it may no longer exist. Our navigable waters are a precious natural heritage, once gone, they disappear forever," wrote the Wisconsin Supreme Court in its 1960 opinion resolving Hixon v. PSC and buttressing The Public Trust Doctrine, Article IX of the Wisconsin State Constitution.

Thx for the link James - it is always fascinating to see the world view of the Progressive and what passes for thier "logic".
And never did realize that racism played a role in the outcome of that election - do now.
Mind you I did realize that your side is still whining about the 2000 election from almost 9 years ago that you were unable to steal. Thing is I still remember that before the election the conventional wisdom was that Bush might win the vote but Gore the electoral college. And there was a pantheon of progressive and Democrat talking heads defending such an outcome.
It should have been a "doh" moment when the reverse happened, but of course selective amnesia kicked in about the previous discussions.

James: I think two days of weather does not a trend make.
What I have read lately about climate change is that we are in a temporary period of cooling, globally, but the trend is to warmer.
"temporary period of cooling"
James - would that be the one that we are almost 10 years into and has another good 30 to 40 years to go?
No wonder you Chicken Littles all abandoned "global warming" for "climate change" when it just got too embarrassing to use the former title.
Jim, I'm just noticing the trend that Al Gore is like a giant walking air conditioner wherever he goes. Global warming speech = cold weather in that area.
Ski hills should be begging him to visit.
