You Were Expecting Flaming Dog Crap?

King County, Washington, has taken a stand against weed eradiction. Unfortunately, it's not the sort practiced by the Drug Enforcement Administration. The county's Critical Areas Ordinance requires rural property owners to leave up to 65 percent of their land untouched, a policy that has prevented the off-limits acres from being used for any productive purpose and allowed invasive plants to run wild. On Saturday a group of landowners protested the ordinance by leaving a bundle of weeds on the doorstep of County Administrator Ron Sims' home. Sims can't very well complain that they violated his property rights.
