#4 This happened years ago in California. The hunting organization Ducks Unlimited began a practical effort (unlike typical leftist environmental groups), to create duck habitats around California.

Being practical, soon California was up to its eyebrows in ducks. And then natural controls started kicking in, with avian botulism, to reduce the profligate numbers of ducks.

This serves as a good lesson for how an organization that is actually serious about a problem is a million times more effective than organizations that just cynically want to profit from a problem, or that has its own agenda unrelated to the problem.

It also shows that there are natural limits to things, beyond human control.

#5 They probably died laughing at San Fran Nan' latest rant on the quackmire in Iraq?

Or was it the latest inane and platitude filled BO speech they laughed their bills off at?
