Demolish Los Angeles !

The campaign to stop pumping the Sacramento River's waters for agricultural and domestic uses (to protect the habitat of the smelt sardine) is only the tip of the iceberg. There is a persistent, massive green effort to restore the "natural" environment of Southern California that amounts to no less than bulldozing and depopulating the metropolitan area of Los Angeles, that depend for their subsistence on a complex system of dams, reservoirs and pumping stations.

I'm surprised once and again how passionate is environmentalist hate of humanity. Lets take the campaign to save the Santa Ana sucker, the local variety evolved to survive in what is now Los Angeles. The massive Seven Oaks Dam, a flood-control dam on the Santa Ana River, damaged the habitat of the sucker, eliminating the boom-and-bust hydrology of this river’s flashy hydrologic system. Environmentalists are campaigning for habitat renewal, fish reintroduction, dam removal and ultimately, re-desertification. But making Los Angeles safe for this fish (pic) is not the war's goal:

"Our efforts to protect the Santa Ana sucker are part of a larger campaign to restore Southern California watersheds for the benefit of the Pacific lamprey, unarmored three-spined stickleback, southwestern willow flycatcher, yellow-billed cuckoo, arroyo toad and dozens of other imperiled species."

To this water engineer, the meaning of "Restore Southern California watersheds" is clear: remove dams and canals, stop the pumping, send back the people to where they came from (this idea must have been copied from the Palestinian program for Jews) and bring back the Yuma Indians dining on arroyo lizards and toads.
