Fortunately for my boat but unfortunately for the removal of condo-trash from MY beaches, Bonnie has turned into a bust. NOW, for my OT rant. I HAVE A DREAM, that one day, air conditioning will be illegal, and all the northern transplants will go away and return FL to its natural state of being a backwater swamp. To that end, I advocate that every year, we burn Dr. John Gorrie in effigy in Apalachicola, FL (in 1856, Gorrie invented AC by building an ice machine to be used to cool a stream of air for his malaria patients). For cruising sailors, feel free to visit, but for Gods sake, dont stay, This aint no Disney world. Rodent World is the work of the devil. As a 6th generation Fl native, I despise what tourism has done to my home and I think that tourism is an especially dirty industry. It provides Minimum wage seasonal jobs while claiming to help the economy. It destroys our salt marshes and beaches by covering them with tacky condo-shacks filled with refrigerated air and cryogenic Yankees. Make Air Conditioning illegal and Real Estate Agentism an illegal profession and put razor wire fences along I-75. Get rid of tourists and then DRILL FOR OIL AND GAS IN THE GULF. The oil industry is FAR cleaner than the tourist industry. A thousand Exxon Valdez accidents would cause less damage than a single Theme park. Which is worse, drilling rigs on the horizon or not being able to see the horizon due to condos? Oil and gas could provide jobs for the few remaining natives after the transplants are gone. BTW, Carl Hiassen is a yankee transplant. David OHara |
