Website Update and Article Info, August 2, 2006
The 'dog days' of summer are upon us. Many are enduring three-digit temps, while some see humidities that rival the summer Fahrenheit. Such humidity is great for growing corn and soybeans, though, and word has it that Ohio's sweet corn crop is the best in a quarter-century. In some places, the eleven-year drought is ending, while in others, the 'dry spell' goes on. Up Alaska way, Ray Kreig and his longtime love Lee Ann Gerhart tied the knot on May 19th. Rick Kenyon, whose McCarthy, Alaska, church, is made of logs and whose congregation attends church on snowmobiles during the winter months, officiated. We send Ray and Lee Ann our happiest prayers and congratulations! Down in the Sunshine State (Florida), the powers that be have taken the never-endangered manatee off the endangered species list. In the West, decisions involving rights of way and trout are finally looking up. It's high time judges find in favor of common sense and property rights! New friends from Idaho and Montana to New Mexico, Kansas and many other parts of America are reenergizing our efforts with their prayers and support, as well as adding their shoulders to the wheel that changes things for the better. Everyone doing something positive is sure to have a positive impact on all our lives! We're busy as ever here, working on research projects, meeting announcements, public comments, and much more. http://www.PropertyRightsResearch.org has just been updated and continues to grow as the Internet source for resource providers, students, recreationists, and anyone nationwide and worldwide, with an interest in learning most things related. Have you visited lately? A simple scroll down the left side of the Home Page will reveal the Contents, listed alphabetically. Have a safe but fun, hardworking but relaxing, blessed summer of 2006!

There are some new quotes at the following buttons:
http://www.propertyrightsresearch.org/invasivespeciesfrms.htm "The zebra mussel may be impossible to control and may cause major changes, some of which may be beneficial. Western Lake Erie and Saginaw Bay of Lake Huron -- once clear waters -- became artificially enriched and plagued with high turbidity caused by runoff from agricultural lands. The filtering action of the zebra mussels in these areas may reduce turbidity and restore water clarity to historical levels, thus benefiting native fishes adapted to clear water."

Roberts. http://www.propertyrightsresearch.org/usdafrms.htm
"Should USDA officially confirm the presence of a disease, such
as FMD [Foot and Mouth Disease], the affected herd and all
cattle, sheep, goats, swine, and susceptible wildlife -- infected or
not -- within a minimum 10-kilometer zone around the infected farm
would be killed. USDA would wait for confirmation before
slaughtering animals to avoid causing unnecessary panic among
producers and severe market fluctuations. If the disease were to
spread beyond the initial zone, authorities would continue
to quarantine and kill animals until the disease was 'stamped out.'"

"As a
teenager, I used to wonder if Johnny Tremaine, Nathan Hale and John
Paul Jones knew what exciting times they grew up in. I suspected they
were oblivious to their place in history and wished I could have been
there to partake in the creation of a new nation, founded in liberty
& justice for all. And now I look around, and I see I have the
very same opportunity I yearned for so long (ago)." -
