Between Haggard and these mice it's no wonder people think we are stupid.

Sky it's people like you that makes our nation reliant on foriegn enegy. When we were spending 4.00 a gallon for fuel when we have millions of barrels of crude oil in our own backyard that nobody wants to drill for because they are afraid of the impact it will have on our mice and other animals. We need to know where to draw the line and say enough is enough. We are losing millions of dollars because of a lowsy mouse that most households set traps for to begin with. I say start developing and start producing our own energy. If you environmentalists dont like it there are other places in this world you can got to. Lets take care of our own before we start worrying about grass, trees and wildlife.

We should really consider the impact of the Prebles mouse on the quality of life that has been preserved along the front range rather than the perceived losses of money. Without the mouse most of the open space along the front range would now be full of developments that ad to the congestion and damage the environment further than it already has been.

And we wonder why our city,state and county is going broke! We don't need to protect a mouse that is undistinguishable from another mouse species except for its dna. It shouldn't have been on the list in the first place.
