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.

So there is at least ONE form of medical procedure that Republicans think that the government should pay for?
Well, it's a start.
Republicans claim to hate Big Government and the Nanny State but what they really love is the 'Big Daddy State', which disciplines the children (citizens) with innovations (reforms) in punishment. We are all inmates in their asylum. Now, do what Daddy says, or else!
