Lewis and Clark and Measure 49

September 22nd, 2007



Do you think these well-meaning Lewis and Clark kids realize that their very own college is pro-Measure 37? Well, I say “pro” because Lewis & Clark filed Measure 37 claims on close to 4,000 acres.

I have already noted how silly some of the arguments are in opposition to Measure 49, particularly the one where us voters may “shut down” a Washington County u-pick “farm”. Well, this blog comments further:

The Jossys letter says they are seeking 13 homesites when in fact they have already been approved for 23 and they have applied for about 30.

Actually, the claims they are referring to are only two of the Jossy’s seven Measure 37 claims, and they don’t even have a claim for 13 houses.

Please vote Yes on Measure 49!

    YES! My wife and I voted FOR 49. We want to keep Oregon Oregon, with healthy farms and ranches. Too many destination resorts are being built in Central Oregon.

    In reading today’s Bulletin (Bend), I saw the name Ben Unger who’s in charge of this campaign. There can only be one Ben Unger, Hilhi Class of 94, prize student of mine and a key delegate for Ohio in 92. Glad to see he’s politically active on on the right side.

micheelgeorge: When Plum Creek Timber Company bought 900,000 acres – 1,400 square miles – of Maine woods in 1998, it bought more than trees. It bought mountains along the Appalachian Trail, tens of wild trout ponds, miles of land flanking the Kennebec and Moose rivers and over 60 miles of shoreline along Moosehead Lake. ————&# 8211; micheel Utah Drug Addiction

Stephanie: The argument that killing all cats to stop predatory behaviour on native creatures should then justify the killing of native predators is pure crap. The native animals are part of the natural cycle; cats are introduced by people. Like blackberries, and scotch bloom and English ivy, and starlings they are an invasive species that are driving out natives. Feeding and promoting feral cat populations should be a crime. They carry diseases like roundworm, heartworm, and hookworm, various forms of FIV and feline leukemia, distemper, and all manner of other sicknesses that cost responsible pet owners thousands of dollars to treat...

Lucas Stahl: Being an american citizen and knowing Donald Trumps past, the public of Aberdeen have to make it their scottish duty to keep Trump away from their lands. He has a way of taking everything from you and giving little in return. Your town will become the \”Las Vegas\” of Scotland with thousands of disrespectful tourists deficating over your lands and family. I know you think it will create jobs for your town and boost the economy but there are other means to do this; not through an ignorant; greed riddled man who makes a habit of stomping his feet, throwing out his chest and holding his...

victoria davidson: I am a first generation American whos family are from the UK. I strongly disagree with the “Trump” philosophy in America. Mr. Trump’s buliding along the Chicago River is an architectural monstroisity. Yet it is wrong to assume all Americans are “narcissictic & greedy”. One of the reasons I love my UK visits is because of the timeless natural beauty along the coastlines not tainted with resorts and casinos. I applaud your efforts to block the building of this environmental disaster and hope you succeed. Perhaps Mr. Trump can find another venu to honour his...

Antoinette Harrington: I am an American, sick to death of “the donald” and his belief that his wealth entitles him to buy and destroy any piece of land on the globe. My dislike for him is indeed emotional, having seen how he destroyed the beauty of the Chicago River landscape with his Trump monstrosity. I hope and pray you will continue fighting till the last to prevent this man from achieving his goal. He will claim his plan is environmentally sound, and his witnesses will agree (though knowing the political climate, their agreement carries a price tag). Unlike Trump, I cannot afford to enjoy the...

jj: Um, yeah, Most of that is BS. Get your facts right. Biofuels release carbon emissions, yes, but in carbon DIOXIDE. That’s what the plants eat. It doesn’t matter how much fuel the plant makes from sunlight, because we are fermenting it anyways. Soybean oil and biodiesel contain no sulfur and generate no sulfur emissions, a major source of acidification in rain and surface water. This makes biodiesel the best technology currently available for heavy-duty diesel applications to reduce atmospheric carbon. So basically, the best we have for right now. Oh, yeah, and about the hunger stuff, I have a solution: DON”T USE...

Muscle Guitar: I agree with the author.Don’t report a feral cat colony to a humane society or rescue group.I have a neighbor who feeds feral cats and they became a real problem.They don’t act like house cats.They are constantly stalking prey like birds,squirrels and small rabbits.The tom cats are relentless sprayers. I mentioned this to my neighbor,and she acted as if it were none of my business that the cats were damaging my property. Better to report the colony to Animal Control,then if the cats are coming on your property let them trap them.Find a discreet place where the neighbors can’t see the...

Louie: I’m from Hong Kong, China. Just read the newspaper (it’s in Chinese) that the breeding program has begun. What’s more? There’re two male specimens left in Vietnam. Don’t know if they’ll transport these two males to China and let them breed with the only female. If it happens, it’s a good news that it could extend the diversity of this species’ gene pool.

Saki: Do the math. Either way, killing a cat or neutering a cat means one less cat that can reproduce, meaning the feral population will go down and eventually die out. The big question is do you want to behave like a psychopath in the making and kill innocent cats, or do you want to show that you really are smarter than other animals and get the cats neutered so they can live out the rest of their lives naturally? Before you answer that question, THINK; don\’t just react. Rednecks can be smart too. Proove that you\’re not a stereotype.
