A week ago I vacationed in the area covered in the following piece... I saw the signs and didn't understand them all, didn't understand the driving forces behind them... I do now... and I'm enraged... you will be enraged... you need to watch the whole damned thing... you need to watch those impacted by environmental thuggery... then you need to pass this on... this needs to go viral... do your part:

This is a harbinger of what is to come here in the NW with plans for government control of land on and around the coast.

"Environmental tyranny"
Also known as " Birdbrained economics".

Sounds like someone needs to be added to the SPLC list.

The plight of a few people on a tiny island matters greatly. What the Park Service has done is a form of "eminent domain." Next it will be entire states that lose their sovereignty to the enviro-whackos. The states that border the Great Lakes are responsible for protecting the lakes. For example, the state lines of Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin extend out into Lake Michigan. Obama wants to grab that power from the states--in the name of the environment, of course. There are thousands of lakeshore communities that have existed for generations--some since colonial times, like my parents' hometown on Lake Erie. Hatteras Island's woes will be replicated by the thousands if this power grab happens.
Thanks for showing this film. It's a warning of what is to come if we don't stand up to the power-grabbers.

When it comes to these kinds of environmental conflicts, it's CRITICAL to put as much thought into how these things affect local communities as they do local ecosystems/environments.
That said, I am not a big proponent of getting all enraged and screaming about 'environmental tyranny' after watching a 20 minute video that only provides part of an extended story. But that's just me.

While it's great that the government moves to expel most air-polluting, global warming vehicles from the beaches (except for, of course, a few government vehicles), it needs to do this for other areas more inland too. And it needs to manage the fox situation in a more humane manner.

PREDICTION; obama will declare parts of the Arizona border habitat area of some sort, or declare it wilderness area, thereby circumventing any state, county law enforcement in those designated areas. It will also be off limits to vehicular traffic. Any takers?

Sharing on my site and thank you! I live in Oregon, a state truly ruined by the enviro-nazis since the late 1970's.
