> Wow. That article is so angry, so divisive, so black-and-white, and so
gloom-and-doom that it borders on parody. I couldn't have written a better

> It's sad that so many people don't value our natural heritage. But it's
truly frightening that so many people just flat out HATE IT and depict
helpless critters like the pallid sturgeon, and those who like them, as
ENEMIES OF THE STATE AND OF ALL THINGS GOOD AND JUST.

> Too bad the author is so biologically illiterate. As all "right"-thinking
