"Richard Pombo can write?"

This book deserves only negative 5 stars but the scale does not go that low.
If you decide to read this book be prepared to fact check every single sentence, because the publisher did not.
Richard Pombo - unbelieveably he is a Congressman from California - is a well known liar. Multiple public articles have proved this beyond a shadow of a doubt - and he has been forced to publically admit to lying about much of what he has written in this book. He has never, ever challenged anyone who called him a liar. In fact Pombo proves that jokes often are based in truth: How do you know if a politican is lying? His lips are moving!
So, in short, don't buy this book, instead, find it at a library (it is probably in the Fiction section). Buying it would only encourage this liar.
Are there problems with the Endangered Species Act? Of course. Is the government guilty of using heavy-handed tactics? Of course. But the answers are not going to be found in Richard Pombo's "me first" world either. This book contributes NOTHING to the sensible community debate. Swing back towards the center, Richard. For the sake of all beings, swing back to the center.
"Unbalanced, extremist ranting"

Pombo obviously has no respect for the environment since he wasted numerous trees on this 225 pages of extremist nonsense. He revels in environmental "scares stories", some of which have since been proven to be false and most of which are grossly exaggerated. He never considers the alternate view, such as in what state would our environment be in if not for laws that protect it. Still spraying DDT? Even more extinctions? Clearcutting of national forests? Yosemite and Grand Canyon dammed up reservoirs?
Only those readers who already agree with him would not see this as the ravings of an unbalanced anti-environmentalist lunatic. This is obviously written for the Rush Limbaugh/Ann Coultier crowd, who are not particularly interested in facts and balanced opinions, but only want confirmation of their extremist views.
This book was incredibly frightening to me. I had no idea of how far the government has gone to take away private land ownership in this country. Now I look at every move my local, state, and federal government does in a new light, and it scares me to death. I'm not an ultra-conservative "wacko" by any means, but I am very concerned about the rapidly disappearing right of private property in this country. Read this book and you'll be concerned too.
I am giving this book the best review, possible, as it it DOES serve as "A wake-up call for every American". The rights to Life, Liberty, and PROPERTY are the cornerstones of American, and indeed HUMAN rights around the globe. Read this book!
