Think of how Lake Powell with more shoreline than the entire western United States did not even exist before the dam was built. Over 2000 miles of shoreline! It was a desert. There was no where near the millions of fish that there are now. A few years ago I was on a house boat with an overeducated liberal and they were talking about all the boats on Powell and the pollution and climate change and gluten alternatives... Then I told them that before the dam was built this was a desert. Now it is an expanded wetland.. Really expanded. I think there is a time and place for government regulation. I believe that we should be good stewards of the earth and conscious of our environmental footprint.... but I live in California where there is a 35mph speed limit and going to the lake is more like watching a nascar race on the oval track under a yellow flag. There are good guys out there that work for the government but the Fish and Game departments can easily become infested with the Peta people who believe that fish should be appointed lawyers and such. On a holiday weekend there are so many agencies working Lake Havasu it is sometimes ridiculous. Sometimes four boats patrolling the gangland of Steamboat cove. As our government grows our freedoms will be diminished. Taxes will be increased to pay for the agencies to take away your freedom. Some of it is necessary... some of it is bullshit.. It is starting to smell a little musky in here....

Thank you for your SANE reply . So many here are using 'politically correct replies', and wish that choice would make them popular, rather than actually understanding the real problems . As the facts were put to me by the 'enforcement guy' , I could not see any reason why 'damming up Havasu' would NOT MAKE more habitat areas, and most actual science based thinkers would agree .

I understand that he has been 'brainwashed' at his workplace, but when he 'plays both sides of one coin' , I see just exactly why he came here to 'preach to the ignorant' . He has been told by his leaders that 'he knows best', yet common sense tells us that his motives are not for the BEST of all involved .
