It's discouraging to read that California Rep. Richard Pombo is again
involved in revising (i.e. derailing) the Endangered Species Act.
Here's a recent ironic quote from him:

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2002109587_species05.html

"The act has become something other than recovering species," Pombo
said. "It's become a tool to stop growth, to stop mining, to stop
logging. To stop a freeway from being built. It's become a tool that
people are using to accomplish other goals."

Well, Mr. Pombo, those things just happen to be the biggest threats
against animal species. The whole _point_ of the ESA is to protect
species from the impacts of human overpopulation, which some choose to
call "growth." But you welcome overpopulation because you're addicted
to the superficial wealth it generates.

Mr. Pombo, with your "conserv"ative leadership let's bring on those 50
million Californians by 2025 and damn any species that might try to
survive the onslaught. Let's also dam a few more rivers while we're at
it. Your buddy John Doolittle is always eager to to that. It's good to
see "conserv"atives working so hard to "conserve" what's left of
California's shrinking wilderness.

If any other species behaved like Man we'd call it a plague.
