wrote: Is it unreasonable to require and annual emission test and follow up remediation for every boat? Yes, terrible idea. You must sail a small boat with no engine. |

: The introduction of hormones into the water, certainly without the knowledge or permission of the individual smacks of government trampling of individual rights. We must have pure water in our lakes to drink, but that is no longer to be, so I suggest drinking only rainwater to protect the purity and essence of our natural bodily fluids. When you look past the government rhetoric (we are here to help!) you almost always find the government makes things worse! Yet the majority clamor for more government intervention, which I find so difficult to understand. Knowing what "they" are pumping into public water supplies, I distill all my drinking water, here. http://www.waterwise.com/ I started distilling because our water makes painful kidney stones. Then, I sent a sample to a lab with no note of where it came from. The results were quite frightening. |

Emissions Testing
Phil Abuster whined:
...for the environment, good for people and delaying the inevitable onslaught of global warming. Got news for ya Phil, the earth's average temp went DOWN over the last year - by the same amount it went up over the last 100 or so years. Many countries are seeing the coldest winter and more snow than they've seen in 50 or more years. The Arctic ice is an average 18" thicker this year than this time last year. And despite what Sierra Club and other Eco Terrorists want you to believe the polar bear population has not declined at all - this according to the Canadian scientists who were *actually up there* studying them (Vs.*studying* them from a living room in Santa Barbara or Bev Hills). "Global Warming" is Reverend Al Gore's money market account. This in no way means I am against cleaning up pollution - on the contrary. I just do not worship at the feet of the global warming high priest nor do I accept that all the earth's (or Mars') pollution comes from America or use any of that for an excuse to do what's right anyway.

I guess you should tell them to shut down their website. FYI, Al Gore isn't running for office this year. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Gordon It's a huge problem that we're just starting to fully comprehend. There's no doubt about GW and human behavior causing it. There are really two choices.. we can continue to pollute the environment and hope for the best, or we can as quickly as economically and politically possible stop polluting and hope for the best. Bart can claim that Al Gore is a liar all he wants, but that's not going to change the observable facts or the opinions of the experts. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
