punafish, it was not in response to your comments, sorry you took it that way. The hysteria over Green Harvest is actually a Get Out of Jail Free card. Whenever government is faced with complaints over their acts, if they are presented with facts and details, they have to address the facts and details. But if they are confronted with those facts and details along with a whole bunch of complaints not attributed to their acts, they are handed a ready made diversion from dealing with the impact of their actions.
Now to answer the question of wasting money, I guess that depends on what a person believes is good expenditures. A swat team is called in to arrest a person crossing against the light. Most will say its a complete waste of money. But was the swat team there for jaywalking or something else. Since we generally don’t know the target, or what else is part of the operation, we really have nothing of the actual operation to come to any conclusion about the fiscal benefit of the operation.
I personally would think it’s a complete waste of money to expend the funds to catch a couple plants someone has for recreational use, but is that the target of Green Harvest?
