Ah the green world. Where a two inch fish is more important then fish. Got to love that change.--66.229.16.126 (talk) 03:11, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

salvation[edit]

if economy goes on hand in hand with the distinction of species for very long, then the earth together with us humans will be next to be wiped out. so yes, the salvation of this planet might come at the cost of the suffering of those farmers. -- Torsten (talk) 14:29, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

20 bucks say you have that view point until you lose your job.--66.229.16.126 (talk) 19:30, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
now you need my account number ;) - so what's more important? employment at every price or a ecosystem you can actually have a decent life in? well, why can't we have both? -- Torsten (talk) 11:17, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
With a leftist Government running it. Its the two inch fish.--66.229.23.225 (talk) 18:01, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The fish wouldn't even be living there (and if it's so endagered would be extinct) without the man-made canals and is thus relatively useless and should die if it can't adapt. This is how nature works, and obviously the department in charge of preserving that doesn't fully understand the circle of life. Mufasa would be pissed. --64.90.84.103 (talk) 00:32, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that the government is over looking common good. I believe that the employment rate will drop and the farmers will lose thier primary irrigation source. I believe they need to find another way to save the species.

Countdown's Keith Olberman reports on 9/24/09 that, on June 30th, the Department of the Interior turned the water back on for the Central Valley but, apparently, nobody noticed.
