I am not sure if this is true or not but I have heard that the Delta Smelt isn't even an indigenous fish. If that is the case, we are protecting a fish that doesn't even belong there in the first place. Maybe somebody else knows about the whether this is true or not.

I think we should cut the drinking supply to any environmentalist, government official, judges or politician that supports them. This would be doing the world a favor.

Id ike to know how a small group of environmental loonies can wield such power. The Delta Smelt is a minnow. A MINNOW! Who cares if they die? Now we will have even more prime farmland lying fallow. All for the sake of a minnow.
