An example of the real costs of "progressive policies".

While they don't fund liberals too move into conservative areas, they fund the nonprofit organizations to help us out and they are usually very liberal. They then seem to do a good job of both indoctrination on our children and influence the government. They all seem to end up on the boards that set the rules and hire the teachers, firemen, police, and such. A group of them got control of the conservation committee, appointed not elected, and they made the decision that there would be no firearms in the town controlled flood control ponds. Thus we can watch the ducks and geese, but not hunt them. If a beaver builds a dam then the area is a wetland, town land map changed at once and when the beaver leaves and the land dries out, it may cost you 15.000 in engineering studies and legal costs to remove the wetlands restrictions. Those restrictions prevent you from cutting trees or driving across it.
