Exposing environmental programs usually brings an attack from the green direction. Their usual tactic is to intimidate and belittle the writer. Greens hate for the general public to know their real agenda – which is to control all property – on land and water.
Yes, I belittle Joyce. There is a reason for that. Actually more than one.
1) She is a loon.
2) She is incoherent
3) Not only incoherent, but she writes stream of consciousness garbage.
4) She is loon.
The leader claims to have editors, perhaps they should use them. There is no coherent point in this slop unless you think that conspiracy theories strung together are coherent.
The environmentalists over all agenda is to close down “working rivers” and return them to free, meandering rivers. This would take the rivers back to the days of Lewis and Clark and before. While this may sound like a good idea, think about the days of Lewis and Clark and then decide if you want to do without insect spray, showers, hot water, microwaves, air-conditioning and all the conveniences that Lewis and Clark could not possibly envision.
What the hell does restoring a habitat have to do with going without insect spray?
ANYONE?
The point of restoring the Missouri flow is not only about restoring habitat, but also retaining other industries dependent on a natural flow. It isn’t environmentalists against barges, it is barges against fisheries and recreation and environmentalists, but God forbid someone point this out to Joyce.
Here’s an idea, why not have a columnist who is more friendly towards market based solutions in relation to the environment. Even some of us who consider themselves staunch environmentalists would be open to new mechanisms of protection. Or just keep running a loon. It is, at least entertaining.
