Just a little something about how I feel.

Thanks Karl.
I just hurts so much when so much is taken away.
I want to smack these people upside the head and and say "What are ya thinkin?"(WTF?)
We have all seen those no parking signs, what's up with that?
Never in my day.
Ya just went fishing and that was what it was. FISHIN.
I want our kids to have MORE than what we have.
Let's fight!
Don't give up on us Karl. We still have the ability.

Somewhere, somehow, someone has GOT to see the absurdity in all of this.
C'mon- BIRDS over man?
It is just way too rediculous.

This is a verse from the original "This Land is Your Land" by Woody Guthrie.

As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing."
But on the other side it didn't say nothing,
That side was made for you and me.

There are just some things in life that have to superceed the law.
One of them just has to be shutting down beaches because of a damn bird.
Especially a stupid one.
Time to fix the law.
This has tormented me for years.
I have begged and pleaded.
I have tried to make them see beyond the stupid bird or even behind it.
Nobody actually knows how many plovers exsisted before they started taking count.
How do we know there were EVER more than what they say?
I just don't know how many more summers i can deal with this.
I think a general uprising is in need.

I'm in.
Most of the younger have no idea how much open beach and land has been lost, no idea.
This country has taken the policy of don't catch the criminals just ban everyone. There by punishing all. The outdoors is our birthright, we are earthlings, born of this earth and have a right to all of it that isn't paved over.
Thanks for the Guthrie quote, I needed that rather badly.

I have had enough.
Have you?
I am tired of being nice and trying to fight the "right way"
The plovers have had over 25 years to make a comeback.
Who says when enough is enough?
Its time to dump some tea into the harbour again!
We need to fix this and we need some reasonable input on how to do it.
This plover %$%$%$%$ is crap.
I say we kick ass on the plover luvvers!
I say we MAKE them back off. Some how some way I believe we can do this.

Not Woodie but I did this one too.

This is what is all about for me.

In my opinion if you haven't seen false dawn or sunset on the the isle
you have no right to judge.
I could give a rats ass about any bird that ain't dive bombing the wata.
That doesn't mean i hate them. It just means I could give a rats ass about them.
That means that I think if ya let the plovers be, they WILL BEE.
Ya see I don't care about 'em. Nobody else does neither,,

Okay Karl. Whatever.......................
I am having a saltwater emotional breakdown now.

WOW nice work Nance. Great photos of PI. Only 8 months to go!:jump1::jump1::jump1:

Excellent...What backbeach said....

I'm in!
As an old Cape guy who drove the beaches from the 70s to 2003, I can attest to the amount of beach we once had and now have.
I, too, am sick and tired of the Plover lovers. F the birds. Who gives a flying crap about stupid birds protected by a stupid ruling. Think about the ridiculousness of the following:

They close 40 miles of beach and prevent hundreds if not thousands of tax paying citizens from access because of a small bird that contributes nothing to the ecology of the region except being there. Not a food source (although they taste like chicken) except for the birds of prey and the coyotes. No one looks for them except the bird lovers and no one cares if there are more or less of them except those who are being paid by the Feds to count them.

So here is the question:
In these times of economic downturn, why are our tax dollars being wasted on some stupid birds? Let's write the elected congressmen and senators and tell them to stop wasting our money counting birds and generate some revenue by opening the beaches to the recs and keeping them open.

At the same time, let's institute a bounty on the seals. Say $20 for every dead seal turned in. If you are unemployed you get a free license to kill seals instead of unemployment. I bet a lot of guys would do it.

Well said piemma.
There just has to be more of us than them.
If I owned a business around the ocean I would be more pissed off than I am.
