I wasn't sure whether it would be a good idea to further  disseminate 
what's below, but a Sierra Club friend thought other club members  might want to 
see it.   As has often been pointed out, the IFB  still has major influence 
at the State Capitol in regard to  environmental issues.  
 
As one of the many Sierrans who have worked on biodiversity  issues over 
the years, and as a landowner who is fortunate enough to have a  few listed 
species on my land, I have a strong visceral response to the  piece below, but 
will let it speak for itself.
