There is nothing worth saving about either the message or the messenger. The message is that the feds view their self-interest as superior to our. The message says they can just take what they want. That message is getting old. That message is simply not in the spirit of the Covenant. That message is wrong. As for the self serving, kickback and payoff inclined messenger that calls itself Pew, I suggest they go find someone else to harass. Go find a place with citizens that will roll over and bark when you ask. We are not that place or those people.
We want to conserve our precious islands and the waters that surround them. In fact, we do a far better job of it than the seriously polluted U.S. does. What we don’t want are phony front men coming here with their we-are-better-than-you-attitude and hidden agendas. If they want to bow down to a lame duck president to calm their oil-soaked conscience, that is fine. We just want them to go elsewhere and stick it to somebody else willing. Thanks but no thanks — now go away and please take your devil baby with you.
