I've lived in Mtn Home since 1989, so that's...hold on...I'm thinking...WOW! Exactly 25 years! Boy, I think I can almost declare myself an Idahoan. But my family is British and I grew up in Louisiana around lots of other Brits so I still think I'm a little bit of a mutt. Those of you who have been around awhile may remember when I used to blog all the time. My opinions weren't very accepted and there was always an issue because I work for the county. That really wasn't fair because I NEVER blog at work! And I am still entitled to my opinions and thoughts about city and county issues, right? However, it stirred a lot of pots and those pots certainly can make a lot of noise! Since I'm a writer, I took what I wrote in my blog seriously so I spent a lot of time researching things which got exhausting to do when you're not even get a paycheck for it. So I stopped. That was a blessing to many! However, to this day, I still have people stop me and ask me why I wasn't blogging and t! hey missed it. I've missed it. Mainly because there are so many issues that come up and I have no voice except around my friends and I'm sure they are tired of it.

Gov't Killing Animals in Name of Preservation!

Posted Wednesday, December 22, 2010, at 9:59 AM

1940's When people could enjoy the beaches,

The Audobon Society are taking an island away from the people and animals who have lived there for generations! http://www.audubon.org/ They are taking donations, thousands of dollars. are being used to kill animals to protect a bird that is not even on the endangered list! The balance has been shifted. People no longer matter!

PLEASE WATCH THESE VIDEOS. WE MUST SUPPORT THESE PEOPLE

These are real live people who have been ruin by the government and bleeding heart activists! What is this really all about? Is this really an effort to save a bird?

PART 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9Zu3ZFHHEs&NR=1

Park Service officers are killing animals that go on the beach in order to protect the birds. Killing any animals to save another species upset the natural chain! I can't believe that other wildlife (hundreds of them) are killed in the name of preservation. The Park Service people are shooting and trapping any animal who comes on the beach.

Please go to The Greystone Project at http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Greystone-Project/154022237943064?v=wall and show your support. Let the government know that what they are doing is wrong. Give the animals rights over the rights of the people is a serious issue. These people are crying for help. What can we do?

Watch the interview about it at:

Please pass this on to everyone and let's make the governement and the bleeding heart bird-loving, people-hating Audobon Society know that Americans will not stand by and let this happen. The Southern Environmental Law Center is using environmental consciousness to get money! That is the real story here! The real motivation is to use a NOBLE cause to rape the lives of these people. To date, they have been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, for their lawsuits against Cape Hatteras alone. How can we let this happen? Who is next? Your town? Environmentals are raking in the dough, people! Read about it! http://www.nowpublic.com/environment/environmental-lawsuits-rake-billions-lawyer...

I can't stress this enough! Like a stone thrown in a pond, the ripple effect will touch the lives of us all! What is happening there can and will happened all over.

Really? I think I could take this more seriously if it were not so poorly written. No wait, I cant. If there were no reason for it then the people wouldn't have had to leave. I also don't care if an animal is on the Endangered list or not since for an animal to be on the list the numbers have to be so low that they are pretty much doomed. I hope this was written by a student for some class and accidentally posted here. Truly.

Thank you for reading this. I hope that before you made your comments, that you took the time to look at the videos. If not, I'm sorry that you are missing the point. However, I appreciate your comments.

"raping the lives of people"

Can you please explain that comment?

Seriously? What is there to explain? All you have to do is watch the videos and understand what I mean. Raping the lives is defined as: an act of plunder, violent seizure, or abuse; despoliation; violation: as in the rape of the countryside. To seize, take or carry off! It is the appropriate wording for what is being done.

Many of the people (50 businesses) have lost their hope. Over a bird, they have lost everything! Many have been forced to move to another place, leaving the place that they love because of bleeding hearts who care more for a bird than human lives. They call themselves wildlife conservationists, yet turn a blind eye to the other animals being killed in order to save this bird. Did you watch the videos? These birds have plenty of other areas that can preserve them. There is a natural order of things and many times that man tries to play God; it ends badly.

I listened to the first video you shared the link to. The first man speaking has only lived there 7 years. He moved there from Richland, Va.

I did a little research and read that the population there has been increasing drastically since 1997, causing all sorts of problems. Maybe they should of managed people moving there first and then they wouldn't have had to close down beaches to save birds and turtles from becoming extinct.

From the women who works for the pest abatement district...killing bugs...to save other bugs, etc.

Really Kim? How about those blogs you deleted in which you were less than truthful about how pest abatement monies (tax payer dollars) were spent?

Now you worry about people on an island? How about those of us in MH, Idaho who are being raped with higher taxes just so the pest abatement district can have ATV's, trucks, etc.

Could have done a great job with 1/2 the money they are taxing us for. How fair is that? How fair is it that this taxing district will go on FOREVER because the Board had no backbone?

How about that? Yep, ignore that to fit your agenda. Pretty standard when you benefit from wreckless government spending yourself. Goes back to people in glass houses...

Speaking of bleeding heart. Go back to bashing Obama. You lost all credibility when you backed your okay of double taxation for the people you work for. I am just sayin...

Now delete this blog.

Ms. Kovac there was no need to be rude. I just had never heard the term "raping the lives of people" and wanted you to explain it. sheesh.

-- Posted by lilmissmelmo on Mon, Dec 27, 2010, at 1:43 PM
littlemisselmo: Forgive me if I seemed rude at all. Your question did cause me to look up the definition to make sure that I had used it correctly. That is a good thing. Your question was valid & I may have snarled unintentionally. Sometimes I can do that as a impulse since I can get alot of sarcastic comments, usually from highly angry, nonfans of my writing. I apreciate that you have read more about this.

Since there are so many things happening in this country that are crazy and highly concerning, I couldn't write about it all so when I saw this on the news, I looked it up and picked this since it really P-O-ed me greatly.
