Default Sewage pump out statistic

@twister.nyroc.rr.com:

This from our state DEP pump out program:

"The untreated sewage from two people on one boat can contribute the
same amount of bacteria to a harbor as the treated discharge from a
town of 10,000 people."

Let's see, about 70,000 people in Portland. The whole city's
bacterial output (after treatment) could be duplicated by 14 people?!


Hmm....the bacteria are eaten by the krill. The krill are eaten by the
brine shrimp. The brine shrimp are eaten by the little fish. The little
fish are eaten by the bigger fish. The bigger fish are caught by the
fishermen. They deliver the fish to my favorite seafood restaurant. I
eat the fish and convert it to ****. I dump that back into the harbor
creating a virtual CLOUD of bacteria for the krill to eat.

DAMN! I'm supporting a whole nuther ECOSYSTEM....just takin a crap!

You don't REALLY believe that what few boaters there are can destroy the
harbor....like those megaconglomerates' mills, founderies, manufacturing
plants, paper mills and the cities' poorly maintained **** plants, do
you??

Here. Count the bottlenosed dolphins in the harbor. They crap more than
you crap, but let's pretend we're even. Not one of them has a sewage
treatment plant. Any harbor they crap in that does NOT have a sewage
treatment facility or factory dumping into it just FLORISHES with life.

Count 'em. Here, I'd say there about 250 dolphins for every human in a
boat. The fishing is superb!

According to the greenies, too, every lake with 2-stroke outboard motors
on them since 1905 should be about 4 inches deep in OIL. They're not.
Ever wonder why?

Just follow the money trail.....
