We have been destroying our earth and natural habitat...and fund programs that contribute to this, and are also ruining our environment so we can have all the stuff we "need"....<br /><br />I'm thinking some government funds to help wildlife habitat, green projects, as in this case, are justified. In fact, I'm proud to see my tax dollars supporting something like this instead of the lazy ass people in line applying for welfare checks. (I'm not talking about people who truly need govt. help like veterans, disabled, etc.)Terry Livelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02780402973730390204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-31765298835998670782011-09-27T21:21:41.384-05:002011-09-27T21:21:41.384-05:00I just thought John was opposed to Obama type govt...I just thought John was opposed to Obama type govt policies...<br /><br />that's all..<br /><br />I can see I must be wrong, eh?<br /><br />;-)Larry Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02282254026681944326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-32090401300698907792011-09-27T21:10:35.522-05:002011-09-27T21:10:35.522-05:00Bayrider...relax my friend - Im just exploring the...Bayrider...relax my friend - Im just exploring the possibities.John Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12783305402239706779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-16620731978663944032011-09-27T20:48:35.117-05:002011-09-27T20:48:35.117-05:00providing water for the wildlife? if they can'...providing water for the wildlife? if they can't find their own then they should not be lingering in your compound. if they are wildlife appropriate to the area they can certainly find natural sources of water. or has that area been overrun by development resulting in loss of critical habitat? I don't think so. I follow this blog because it is all about an individual acting on his own behalf in an independent manner outside the mainstream way of life. now you are going to go along with one of the federal govt's many scams of distributing money forcibly removed from the citizens all across this country to the benefit of particular individuals and all in the name of 'doing good'?bayriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01973602394952630821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-21044748523958063442011-09-27T19:10:21.763-05:002011-09-27T19:10:21.763-05:00I say "go for it".

If the feds are willing to fork out for your dam project, they must see some merit in it. <br /><br />Interesting article on the greenhouse project in Monahans. I don't know why they wouldn't go green in their operation. Green practices make sense on the bottom line, as they are usually cheeper, especially with the economies of scale they are bringing to the project. Will look for them as we pass through there on the way down to Terlingua.Allen Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500590136731959920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-26628723651737108452011-09-27T16:45:18.873-05:002011-09-27T16:45:18.873-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-61891723668717417922011-09-27T16:40:32.030-05:002011-09-27T16:40:32.030-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-69919385814343990272011-09-27T15:04:43.686-05:002011-09-27T15:04:43.686-05:00Well John...
