You even mind the Newts. About 10 of them.

UH-OH ... CAN'T DISTRURB THE COLONY OF NEWTS

In England, they were trying to build a road to bypass a town. That was until they discovered a colony of protected newts. The great crested newts were found near the Earl Shilton bypass. Guess how many they found? Between one and ten newts were found in three ponds around the area.

So what's the solution? They're going to spend over $3 million to delay the project and try to stop the news from returning to the area. That's right. The project was supposed to be finished this year, but now it has been delayed until February 2009. On top of that, over a million dollars will be spent on steps to stop the newts from returning and trapping the newts when hibernation ends in the spring.

The Leicestershire County Council has a legal obligation to make sure that these newts and their habitat are protected ... all at the taxpayers' expense.

Someday, my friends, you're going to understand just how hideous the Endangered Species Act is. It is quite possibly one of the worst pieces of legislation passed in the last 50 or so years.
