Eco-nazis, eh? Way to start out by immediately pigeonholing yourself as a name-caller. Always a good way to keep intelligent people’s attention.

That “stupid 3 inch fish” as you so eloquently put it, is a bit like a canary in a coal mine. If they die, so do we. Through intelligent land management (mandating living soil, sequestering carbon, cell grazing, etc.) what little water we DO have will go much further in agriculture. By building graywater, rain catchment, fog catchers systems and a myriad of other awesome conservation technology we can use the water we get locally for whatever it’s needed for. Worst case scenario, we move water around intelligently with pipes (sure isn’t a problem with oil!).

I think our definitions of Deep Ecology are incredibly different. If I weren’t confident that you’d continue with your insulting tone, I’d go into it deeper, but I have a feeling I’d be talking to a wall.
