Hypocrites in Uniform
Well, They're back, on YOUR tax money, of course...
The NPS can't re-open pole road because it was a "natural process" that overwashed the beach and created all that new habitat, that they can't interfere with by restoring the needed, desirable and traditional access.
Why, the eco-crazies even started whimpering and whining that it wouldn't be "right" to interfere with the "natural process" that created Isabel Inlet, and effectively isolated Hatteras and Ocracoke Villages from the rest of the world. It wasn't until the Secretary of Homeland Security, Tom Ridge, said "do whatever it takes to reconnect those citizends to their livlihood, restore their utilities and public health support services, etc", that the Wackos realized they were fighting a politically unwinable war and they slunk off to lick their wounds. Why some of those hypocritical sycophants even collected awards for their efforts after they were dragged kicking and screaming aboard the recovery team.
The same people who would have let the citizens, women and children alike, die of starvation in the dark in Ocracoke and Hatteras rather than "interfere with natural processes" in the park, are now INTERFERING AS FAST AS THEY CAN with natural processes as part of their efforts to keep their pet birds happy in those egregious closures.
That's right, folks. The Civil Service TRAPPERS are going about their business of eliminating the fauna like foxes, raccoons, etc that might , as a natural process, mind you, eat a bird from time to time. There were a couple of these guys laying out a trapline among the dune field about a mile south of Cape Point yesterday. One of these bozo's with that fancy Dept of Agriculture hat and GSA truck even explained that those Raccoons "aren't a native species"... Imagine that ! Thought that the Naturalist in Raleigh's expedition wrote about the Raccoons on the outer banks when he was here in the 1500's... Anyway, even if the RED foxes aren't native to North America, they are sure well established, and isn't species colonization a "natural process"?
Oh well, If you are with the government you can just say "Screw natural processes when it suits my agenda!"
Just like the deliberate reintroduction of those amaranthine weeds at the most popular point on Hatteras Island last year in the unspoken hope that the thing would justify a future exclusion of the public from their National Park.
Anyway, the trappers are slinking around again. Be interesting to learn How Many Tax Bucks it Takes to Catch one of those Cute Little Foxes This Year. Do all ya'll think you're getting your money's worth? And where's PETA when they might do some good for a change ?
