It's gone to the birds...

There is a very large Cliff Swallow location at my school site.  They migrate there every year and this year they tried to get a permit and were denied.  The denial letter actually had a swallow made out of computer symbols typed on it by the lady that denied them...Sweet! The swallows are protected by the Migratory Bird Act of 1918.  The nests can't be removed once completed. They were finished yesterday, but today they were knocked down. Needless to say, I was furious and went to speak with the man in charge and realized it is impossible to reason with a child.  After every fact or policy I reminded him, he would say, "And?", "And?", "And?" and how do you reason with a person like that.  The man in charge isn't even capable of reasoning with another adult and I am suppose to expect him to care for this Cliff Swallow population?  My fault for being so naive, I guess.
