From the San Gabriel Valley Tribune - 4/3/02

Gone is gone
It seems like every time we turn around, some piece of our environment is being chewed up. The latest is the government's decision to reopen a slowly recovering portion of California's habitat to the noise, pollution and destruction of off-road vehicles. The area known as Imperial Sand Dunes near Glamis will soon be torn apart again in another bone-headed decision by the Bureau of Land Management, which seems only to be listening to one side of the argument. Why do all the recent decisions by our current administration favor the commercial side of our society? Since when is someone guaranteed the right to operate a business?

One by one, the accomplishments of the Clinton administration are disappearing: high employment, strong stock market, international influence and, perhaps most important and long-lasting, the protection of nonrenewable and fragile natural resources.

I live near the San Gabriel Canyon and have seen firsthand the destruction of a portion of the North Fork of the San Gabriel River bottom caused by these noisy toys and their owners.

The abusers have gradually enlarged their area of operation to the point that a once-important riparian habitat is now a huge pile of dust. Once it's gone, it's gone!

It's just a letter to the editor by some whining crybaby :rainbow: ecofag. They can whine all they want, fewer and fewer folks are listening. If it were an actual editorial it would be worth rebutting, but this guy's :rainbow: whiney little rant aint worth the time of day IMO. Just ignore the fruitcake.
