The 'M Opinion" Should Avoid California Incest
http://chanceofrain.com/2012/07/the-m-opinion-should-avoid-california-incest/
(At last!  Someone else sees the incestuousness (ok, inbreeding) occurring out there!  As I've said before, all of this inbreeding within the 'water world', quite literally, the retards are starting to appear. While the phrase might be politically incorrect, it correctly describes the consequences of such unholy alliances as what we are dealing with today. 

Make no mistake, politics, public/private partnerships, state/federal agencies trade more places with each other than a game of Musical Chairs, and has long been the mechanism by which these borderline illegal outcomes have been created.)

Three Former California Governors: It's Time for CEQA Reform
http://www.caeconomy.org/blog/entry/three-former-california-governors-its-time-for-ceqa-reform
(Interesting new blog site I've stumbled on...and it's a good thing I did, too.  The line-up of participants includes Felicia Marcus and Hank Nordhoff representing EPA District IX and Gen-Probe, respectively.  However, both are sitting members of the Delta Stewardship Council.

Second in the table of contents, every last title is SMART this and SMART that...classic propagation of Agenda 21.  When oh when will people wake up to this disaster???  Oh yeah, we're the state of California, we lead the way into brick walls and over cliffs, don't we?)
