@flabdablet What I'm hearing is that you're afraid of progress.
But he's a Progressive. How is that possible???

We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.

@masonwheeler The problem, of course, is that nobody can agree on which road is the right one (and it isn't necessarily the one the most people think is right), and even if somebody is on an obviously wrong road, they'll rarely admit it.

Because fuck the people, frogs come first.
That's a risk you take when you buy land. You are (basically) responsible for everything that's on it. Yeah, it sucks when your land was a toxic waste site and is leeching lead into the school's well; or has protected species living in it. But its your responsibility to deal with.
specifically I think it'd probably be the Department of Fish and Wildlife -- create and enforce a bunch of senseless demands, arbitrary restrictions, and ridiculous fees on people who want to hunt and fish.
Fish and wildlife are a resource that must be managed. Look at how overfishing has killed off whales, salmon, anchovy, code, sole, blue wall eye. Look how hunting licenses get cheaper (or you get paid to hunt!!) when they actually need to cull a species.

Well, @Captain Planet, I may not agree with the government on which species I want saved.
