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.
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
