LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — "A federal judge temporarily stopped construction on a $320 million irrigation project Thursday, ruling the changes could disturb the habitat of a woodpecker that might or might not be extinct."
Enough already. The bird has been extinct since the mid-40's, but Loons say they might have spotted one a couple of years back just to toss a monkey wrench into the works. An important dictum of science states that absence of proof isn't proof of absence, but to halt a much needed project such as this there MUST be standards set that prevent the tree-huggers from doing as they please...just because there MIGHT be a snail or slug or termite or birdy who'd need a new home.
