It has nothing to do with "the environment."

We damn rivers.  We produce infinite trash.  We flatten swaths of land to build homes.  We fill in swamps and marshes.  We do whatever the fuck we want. 
 
We build below sea level.  We build multi-million person cities in the desert.  Our most populace state is prone to wildfires, earthquakes, and mudslides. 

So if we're smart enough to live in harmony with nature, we're dumb enough not to.

1. Not anymore. Clean water act says so.

2. Not anymore. In most places, you must build at least 2' above the BFE.

You guys can just post something like "nana nana boo boo" instead of these absurdly stupid counterpoints.  It'll save you time.

That really wasn't direct at you. Sorry that you thought it was an attack. I think there is a general disconnect between nature is good and development is bad way of thinking which many fall into.

could be the same for beavers

Can y'all move your discussions of water management to the politics thread, or the weather climate & environment thread, or literally anywhere else? 

I think Mike had intended this to be a bit of a philosophical thread, and while it might drift here or there, sniping at each other about damn dams is not really the idea here. 

and you don't have to finish it either

I thought this, too.  But someone started criticizing my posts for multiple pages instead of sharing their philosophical word salad.  

Dam him!

Europe has plenty of forests.
