SOB

Go out in the woods and listen carefully. You might hear a tree falling and then silence. Where you once would hear a babbling brook, the sound of running water, there is nothing. There is group out there clearing trees and damning up free flowing streams and rivers with wild abandon. They do not care how you feel about it or what you think about the preservation of our natural resources. They don't have to. They, because of special laws, can construct dams without permits, environmental impact reports or public input. They are not required to submit plans, do studies or seek approval from local, state or federal government. And if you or your property happen to be in the way that is just to bad. If they decide to build on your land, tough. You're stuck. You will have no right of appeal and no court will issue a restraining order.

And they are unceasing in their efforts. So determined and unrelenting are they that their very name is used as byword to indicate industriousness.

Why? Why do they build dams? Many of which either slit up, turning in to mud holes, or fail due to the poor choice of materials and lack of proper engineering. To continue their own damn existence. They seem to lack any concern for the environment or for our rights as citizens of The United States of America. Self preservation is their only apparent motivation.

Who? Who is perpetrating this massive injustice? Flooding thousands of acres of public and private lands every year. Destroying forest and the habitat of untold numbers of wild animals, upsetting the balance of nature. The Army Corps of Engineers? Tennessee Valley Authority? BLM? A massive coalition of power companies and energy corporations? No, this is a group that is not even fit to be called "human".

They must be stopped. Send your dollars and sense to "SOB" and help "STAMP OUT BEAVERS!"
