- Cite the study please or zip it up.
-
- You cannot consider anything you hear on the Rush Limbaugh show as news
- or statements of fact. Most of what you hear is either the opinion of
- Rush Limbaugh or the opinion of his callers, a huge majority of which
- think like Limbot clones. Very little is news.
-
- Now, he may have been citing a new study I am unfamiliar with but I would
- prefer to research it myself rather than taking Rush's word for it, if you
- don't mind.
-
- And it wasn't numbers from any "enviro-wacos" which put the Spotted Owl
- on the Endangered List. The numbers came from a GOVERNMENT sponsored
- study which was PERFORMED by government biologists. Rush just like to
- say "enviro-wacos" every chance he gets.
-
- And so what if there are 10 times as many spotted owls as the original
- census was? That means the current population is 10% of its original
- numbers instead of 5%. (Percentages estimated, but you get my point.)
