Group IQ is inversely proportional to the size of the group.

This is madness.  These folks have a sustainable and environmentally optimal oyster farm, producing food and jobs that is valued by many, and they're being fined 60,000 bucks because they encroached into a friggin harbor seal area.  Harbor seals have healthy populations and are not even species of concern.  They've been farming oysters there with those seals for over half a century, without any negative effects to either the seals or the oyster farmers.

I swear sometimes I think we've had a national lobotomy.  Farming within the ecosystem is the future.  This is what we should be encouraging.

The enviro nazis have been after Johnsons for awhile. Bombarding the National Parks with BS. Its not NATURE. Give me a freaking break. When does it stop? Plus about a century or more of cowshit draining into the watershed. Oops, I guess its not Johnsons anymore.

I would think the last thing a calm farm would want to do is F up the eco system. This is just friggin stupid. Come on enviros and gov't step back and use some common sense. I am so sad that our leaders have lost the ability to use reason.

This reminds me of people who drink wine yet complain endlessly about vineyards.

If you're against food production, don't eat!
