Kelly :

Thank you for your last post on duckweed. It is brilliant and is much appreciated . If someone has ever had a serious duckweed problem they understand . We should call uncontrolled duckweed -- fish killer.

Some very wise men who ,at risk of life ,founded this country and gave us a constitution understood that freedom is dependent on the private right to own property. Private ownership means you can make your on decisions regarding your property as long as you don't injure your neighbors property. The constitution provides that if the government wants to infringe upon this right they have to pay compensation. If one wants to buy land and turn it into a duckweed haven then god bless them they have that right and I will support their choice.

Many have made the ultimate sacrifice and as Lincoln stated , given their last full measure ,to protect this right. Likewise I have the right to remove duckweed to protect my fish and property. ewest
