Once again the
Feds are in a balancing act
Species
versus humans as habitat and jobs contract
The Gunnison
sage grouse best known for its mating dance
Is about to
go on the Feds’ endangered species list to give it a survival chance
But when the
Feds act to control from far off and D.C. remote
With
unelected bureaucracies in full on bloat
It is we
mere struggling mortals who pay the job loss toll
Well meaning
but heavy handed regs to pursue their goals
In a phrase putting
this dancing bird on the list
Putting development
and ranching on hold in their midst
Is “strictly
for the birds”
Borders once
again on the absurd
165 million
acres of federal land from ranching and development may soon disappear
Another job
killing act that we mere mortals have grown to rightfully fear
Two Blues in
Colorado and Montana are in fierce Senate reelection fights
Yet support the
grouse which may help ridding the Senate of the Harry Reid blight
