Wayne Nash recently has become involved in a project that illustrates why dependence on big government may not be such a good idea.
You probably remember the story in the news concerning the situation in the Klamath Basin in Oregon. To sum up: Over many years, the government has been providing water to the farmers of the basin, a normally arid region. People were successful with their farms and the basin prospered. Enter the tree-huggers, a group of people who have huge lobbying power, too much time on their hands and are over-educated by half. With nothing better to do than interfere with the affairs of man, they "discovered" a precious little creature called the sucker fish, a bony, inedible critter with, to me, about the same value as the weeds in my yard. In other words, they don't bother me too much as long as my wife doesn't make me go deal with them. They just don't register on my radar. But I digress.
