Deja vu all over again?

Brave patriots dismiss warnings from shadowy 'authorities' and voice their opinions:

Nearly 30 percent of the Fish and Wildlife Service scientists queried responded to the survey -- a high rate, especially since several regional offices had urged employees not to reply. An official in the Great Lakes regional office asked the staff, in a memo, not to fill out the survey "in the office or from home."


In response to an unexpectedly large turnout, authorities backpedal and carefully re-word their message:

Fish and Wildlife Service spokesman Mitch Snow said officials in Washington had directed employees only to not answer any unauthorized surveys during working hours.


The results of the poll are dismissed by naysayers:


But an Interior Department official said the survey results reflect the natural tension between agency scientists and managers in making tough decisions about protecting species.

So what color ink do we dip our fingers in to show our support...?
