The Sea Lions here on the coast in the ports are absoluly taking over, the do gooders won`t let anyone do anything about them, you can`t scare them off the docks, you cant do anything with them.

Now, here is the funny part. Now they are being aggresive to there Kayaks that they like to paddle around in and they are screaming bloody murder and want something done. I say what`s good for the Gander is good for the Goose.

Bastages, all of them do gooders.

Re: Too friggin funny

Now that is very funny LD! They like to feed on the salmon at an 'unnatural choke point' called the Locks that now drain Lake Washington, (since the early 1900s). In the old days a shot or two would stop the deal, now m-80s don't seem ta faze 'em. Wonder what the Libs would do if they started eatin' their granola? JR :cool:

Note to liberals, try spinning a 3 bladed propeller at a couple of thousand RPM's and see what happens. Otherwise find a group of native americans to exercise their "tribal rights". They can then throw the carcases on the side of the road just like up here!!!

Note: I recommend the use of one of those fossil fuel burning "engines" to accomplish this. Google Mercruiser or Johnson for additional information.

IMHO, it just goes to show that the libs have agendas that go beyond the immediate subject. To save the salmon, they would gladly tear down hydro-electric dams, trying to drive us back to the dark ages, but they won't allow the shooting of a few non-endangered pest seals.

Is the picture getting clearer? Are the dots starting line up in a path of understanding?

<<libs have agendas>>I guess I haven?t got the word yet ,seeing as some people on this board consider me a lib?o well, wouldn?t be the first time I didn?t get the word.

<< they would gladly tear down hydro-electric>>I guess this could be the problem as to why I haven?t gotten the word yet. I wouldn?t tear anything down, might even put in a nuke.

<< but they won't allow the shooting>>I believe in giving the seals a chance??..maybe a fifty yard head start.:D

Re: Too friggin funny

It's what happens when science, economics, and politics get mixed. You're likely to get solutions to problems that were worse than the original problem.

We managed to eliminate a good share of the natural predators for the sea lions when we helter skelter captured killer whales for aquarium shows--the only other natural predator is man.

When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time on Whidbey Island, Wa. and one of the things I did was kill harbor seals for a $10 bounty that was in place at the time.

Then they passed the marine mammal protection act. I'm not sure what the impetus for that act was, but I'm sure I had a part in it.

The problem with political solutions to scientific problems is that they tend to be absolute solutions that tend to never work as intended, no matter what side of the political fence you are on. When people express their dominance over nature, it tends to end with a bad result. I don't know what the answer is, as it seems that in a battle between idealogical politicians and common sense science, the politicians always win, and it is always bad for common sense, science and the environment.

This kinda (well sorta maybe) sounds like half of my posts regarding Global Warming. What part of the above do you or don't you apply to same?

Wonder what the Libs would do if they started eatin' their granola? - JR That's funny right there :D except they're probably tryin' to get them to eat their Granola to save them from Salmon oil or somethin' . . .

2/3 correct PW2! Nothing wrong with science and economics, politics is the entire problem.

We managed to eliminate a good share of the natural predators for the sea lions when we helter skelter captured killer whales for aquarium shows--the only other natural predator is man.

Wrong again: PW2, the killer whales prosper here in Gods' Country. The 'natural predators' of the sea lions that the LEFT LOONS 'eliminated' was a younger and more reasonable PW2!

When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time on Whidbey Island, Wa. and one of the things I did was kill harbor seals for a $10 bounty that was in place at the time.

Then they passed the marine mammal protection act. I'm not sure what the impetus for that act was, but I'm sure I had a part in it.

Let me help here PW2. The Left hates America first, (they hate sucess and this is the most sucessfull of Countries on this planet), but they really hate HUMANS: PW2, (BTW: humans are the most sucessfull species: PW2). Now that I helped you with this minor blind spot maybe you can figure out the world a little better and understand what yer Leftie pals like Babs Striesand n' Algore are really about.

The problem with political solutions to scientific problems is that they tend to be absolute solutions that tend to never work as intended, no matter what side of the political fence you are on.

Wrong again PW2. "Political solutions" of larger more interferring government, (like you folks on the Left constantly work for), taking larger parts of all of our lifes' energy, (that's taxes: PW2), and thereby displacing the private sector and eliminating any sense of personal responsibility is the reason your illogical counter to human nature Socialist philosophy can never work, and Capitalist/Libertarian (restrict the size and scope of govenment) philosophies always work.

When people express their dominance over nature, it tends to end with a bad result.

Wrong again PW2, it is just the Lefties approach that can never work due to the nature of man!!

I don't know what the answer is, as it seems that in a battle between idealogical politicians and common sense science, the politicians always win, and it is always bad for common sense, science and the environment.

PW2 If you and the rest of Americans that think like you would combine with Cornservatives and reduce government as much as possible with market designed systems, thing could work much better then they do now under Lib Corntrol. Respectfully, JR :D :p ;)

Re QC.

I apply most of what I said here to Global Warming as well. I think the science is pretty much in regarding GW, as we saw in the recent document produced in Belgium. There are even reasonable first steps proposed as responses, and none of those include burying your head in the sand and pretending the problem doesn't exist.

Re Murky,

I rest my case regarding dealing with common sense science with irrational political diatribe. Your irrational diatribe accurately reflects the problem.

I guess you are referring to someone else as I definitely don't do that . . . I'll restate my position(s) which is consistent with the science. 1) The Climate is in a warming trend 2) The question of, and/or degree of, human cause is unclear. 3) Our ability to undo or affect the rate of that unknown level of cause is questionable. 4) CO2 level may actually follow warming, not necessarily the other way around 5) Almost all proposed "solutions" are very scary.

Back on topic, I think Global Warming has caused the seal problems, so it's definitely Bush's fault . . . Yes, I know it is a tired line, but still just a little funny. Back off topic. If a Dem becomes president and during that time the US does not put itself on a path to reduce it's CO2 emissions by the recommended total of 20% of today's by 2050 :eek: Is any warming their fault?

Well, it may be unclear to you, but it is pretty well accepted in the scientific community. And we clearly can reduce the amount of CO2, and work toward reducing global emissions, while reforesting areas, especially areas in the tropics, where reforestation could be be beneficial. If nothing else, and even if it was not immediately effective, it would be a great opportunity to work toward getting the world community working toward a common goal, which would be a welcome change.

As far as whether the Dems will not react and this be part their fault, only time, and President Hillary will know for sure.

If "pretty well" is that something like 80% of them are 90% certain that we may be causing 5 - 90% of the warming then OK . . . I am 90% certain that I have a 5 - 90% chance of winning on my next trip to Vegas too . . . ;)

Re: Too friggin funny

Same problem here with foxes. They used to be vermin and where also shot to prevent distribution of rabies. Now they are roaming the streets of little villages and stealing food at french fries stores. Word has it that lately they have the gall to ask for more curry!
