Food Prices Up?

Let's make it worse so that we look good!

Short version: the National Wildlife Foundation is suing on the claim that the EPA isn't doing enough to control what Other People do to their own land.  (hell is other people...)

A large part of their claim is that grasslands are "huge carbon sinks" (apparently, other plants aren't) and are vital to biodiversity.

From the various protected public grasslands I've seen, a major chunk of that "diversity" consists of weeds.  (This is a technical claim; "weed" doesn't just mean "unwanted plant" in this case.)  State and Federal lands are often huge areas of class A, and good luck getting any action on it.

Here's an idea, how about tell the feds to go do something physically improbable to themselves instead of telling the nation what we put in our tanks, and where it is to come from?

While we're at it, make dang sure the NWF and other organizations don't make one red cent off of their lawsuits.  You want to be activists?  Get someone besides the tax payer to foot the tab.  (Wonder how much that would take off of the budget?  You don't just save the money they're getting, you save the money you would've spent defending yourself while you were paying them to sue you.)

Econuts are nuts, that's all there is to it. Well, that and that they *hate* mankind and all his works.

Consider: these people will simultaneously:
1) rant about cattle flatulance being a terrible "greenhouse gas"
2) wax poetic about the vast herds of bison which formerly dwelt in N.America.
