Posted by: Ken (Kulak) at January 26, 2012 12:27 PMIt's funny that these crazy people think that nature has a "right to life" but other people don't.
Excluding themselves of course or they would all go out and commit suicide to prove their sincerity.
The next blatant hypocrisy is that they see nature as a separate entity from humans. Are they not the ones that generally shun religious beliefs and believe in natural selection and Darwinism? In a nutshell they believe that we all come from the same force of natural physics and not some metaphysical creator, and thus must be one with nature.
It makes the head spin to realize that these people have such power in our societies.
California,..should surprise no one. The only hope left is that Mexico just takes it all back now instead of incrimentally. They are probably trying to figure out what to do with the millions of uncontained mental patients in public service.

They'll release them onto the streets like they do with many of their violent offenders and sex predators.
There's going to be a match thrown onto the funeral pyre at some point and it's all going to go up in flames.
My biggest concern is how many of the unwashed masses will be heading our way when it eventually does.
Mother Nature is a serial killer and a mass murderer. This is only an extension of the usual moonbat tenderness for killers.

Hopefully, the whole land mass east of the fault will slide gracefully into the Atlantic.
Posted by: Alienated at January 26, 2012 2:03 PMWhat I'd love to see is a plague of locusts descend upon Santa Monica and see if the "natures rights" advocates are hypocrites or not. A less locally destructive way of checking out how serious these moonbats are would be to place fly attractant pheromones in their houses and see how well they coexisted with the clouds of flies that would suddenly find their house irresistable. Well at least the fire ants and African bees can breath a sigh of relief now as they're safe in Santa Monica.
You're right Loki. My thoughts exactly. Ma Nature's realm encompasses more than just the warm fuzzy things. Do you think viruses are "people" too? Or at least have rights, being a natural phenomenon and all.Feed a mosquito; save a plague.
Posted by: Texas Canuck at January 26, 2012 3:18 PMAll part of the "sustainable" agenda, better known as Agenda 21, with this year being the 20th anniversary, you can bet we'll see more of this nonsense, right down to the Town and Rural District Committee level.

Your future awaits, just obey the rules, all of them, no exceptions.
Posted by: mitchel44 at January 26, 2012 3:21 PMCan't you just heard the sound of all those lawyers stampeding to Santa Monica to file lawsuits on behalf of 'nature'?
Posted by: grok at January 26, 2012 4:20 PMEcosystems are people too. They should be able to sue and be sued in their own names.

Posted by: Lex Luthor at January 26, 2012 6:07 PMThe real reason they are having these crazy laws is to keep any riff raft from as they see it. Invading their communities.
Its a NIMBY equivalent of a nuke on anyone changing, or moving into settled Patrician communities.
Soon bears with coyotes will be moving in though.
In the name of nature they want to keep the neighborhood free of "Those" people.
What they will get though is stagnation, with the crumbling of the infrastructure. No one will be able to improve or even keep up the roads to rail services. The Mad Max mentality . Social deconstruction in the name of environmentalism.
I heard that there were rattlesnakes in or about Santa Monica. Don't know if it is true. But if it is, perhaps someone will sue Santa Monica on their behalf.
I mean, good people of Santa Monica must do something for these poor, deprived rattlesnakes, racoons and other wildlife and the least of it will be to bring it back.
The vote should be declared illegal. Only individual human beings have rights.

No, I was going with a bit of sarcasm. Guess you took it literally.
