Thanks Keith, I appreciate your perspective. As you said you did
practice law and ESA gave you tools to work with. If there is trade
in these items it should be stopped. That is how ESA should be
applied. A good example is when a fish is being fished to extinction
it is a simple matter to stop the fishing. When a coral is sick and
dying from poorly understood diseases (like people catching cold)
listing them may make us feel good but accomplishes little except
create more bureaucracy that lawyers thrive on. Gene bureaucracy
