"I'm saying that every wetlands is valuable as opposed to your statement that some are more valuable than others."

It depends on your touchstone. Are you talking ecologically? If so, then all wetlands tend to be equal, water is a valuable ecological commodity.


I thought we were talking ecologically......then again, that's not the norm for Tim.

Are you talking economically? Then, that depends. Location and function is very important. Are you talking politically? Then location, the political cycle and local politics are much more important. If the wetland is in a swing state, then the local attitude is more important than anything else. Which is why Charlie was more important than Katrina or Rita...

No, I understand that political and economic variations. I was talking ecological.....Tim may not have been.

Speaking of hurricanes, FEMA finally got the trailers to NO. Now the mayor is having trouble convincing people its okay to put them up in the parks. Its the nimby[not in my back yard] attitude rearing its ugly head. If NO recovers from this mess, it will be a miracle and a testament to the staying power of cities.
