You should quit promoting propaganda, but I know its hard for an Eco-Nazis like yourself to go cold turkey. But there is HELP! This story first broke on January 5, 1997 and was highlighted on the front page in the special edition of the Appeal Democrat entitled "GOING HOME." There Steve Jones an attorney for RD784 made the charge. The article goes on to state that RD784 had been protesting the 17 foot deep pond since 1995 but the Army Corp wouldn't listen. Between the irresponsible environmentalist pushing their hair brain ideas, the high powered Southern California water lobbyist, developers too & the unscrupulous politicians who are always there to take the hand-outs, the people of Sutter Yuba Counties are caught in the middle to suffer the consequences of this batch of idiots. Hey Understood the next time I want to keep up on current events in Stockton, I'll look in a Marysville newspaper or maybe I should go to the L.A. Times... Is that how it works with you guys? Here's a little research for you by a Yuba/Sutter area news organization. If you are wondering whether this news outlet have a bias interest at stake, I suppose you could say they do just as the Appeal Democrat would. They are both located here in the area and could have been flooded also. So far their bias interest goes (with respect to the 1997 flood), it has been to inform the people in their communities of the evils that men like yourself do to keep them in harms way! You may not like reading the following, but it will do ya some good. So enjoy a piece of humble pie and read the following articles: http://www.otn.net/btb/lead3.htm http://www.otn.net/btb/lead1.htm Then here's an editorial for all you Environmental Wackos. It will give you an idea how & what the people in these parts are thinking of your Boondoggle environmental projects! http://www.otn.net/btb/editorial/eldewho.htm ********************************************************* On Thu, 13 Mar 1997 00:31:47 +0000, "sdef!" <savage@easynet.co.uk> wrote: >>From what I've seen of these groups postings you're absolutely right. >Why is it that this division is being encouraged?

Maybe hard to believe yet, I am very supportive of RESPONSIBLE environmental measures. However, when groups are supportive of climbing bridges (e.g. The Golden Gate), or chaining themselves to trees etc., they sit on the Environmental Wacko side of the bench. Right now I think it's stupid to say that dams are never the solution. Even though the idiot dam(n) operators at Oroville didn't start releasing the water as soon as they should have, if it weren't for this dam both these counties would have been underwater. The flows into Oroville on Jan. 1 were well over 300,000 cfp and topped at about 350,000 cfp. Releases were at peak flow of 160,000 cfp on Jan. 2 the day the levee breached. Thank God Oroville was there!! L. Needham Sutter County, CA
