. .. Gee Wilbur, You sound like an obnoxious crabby old SOB that hates women. And you accuse women of reacting with emotion. I posed the question because the group was asked to support a bill with out any link to the bill. If someone is asking for my support then *they* should privide all of the facts. I sure hope for women everywhere that you are gay. Cindy trolling bs removed Neal (aka Wilbur) Warren hasn't gotten laid without money changing hands since Eisenhower was in office. He's just an angry troll. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Snot-nosed little LIAR! I bet you support Hillary Clinton since you demonstrate a typical, ignorant, liberal, feminist attitude. And, Hillary provides no facts, just lies and pandering. So much for your requirement that you be provided you with all the facts. And, never mind Capt. JG. He's been staking me and confusing me with somebody else ever since I caused his male, live-in lover to break up with him. No, I'm not gay and did not personally steal his gay lover. I just introduced him to somebody who was both gay, intelligent and buff - not some skinny little momma's boy like Jon Boy! Hugs, Wilbur Hubbard Wilbur |

Claus Not having read it yet, and knowing full well the shananigans Senators like to play, I am wondering if it doesn't contain language that will screw us in some other way. Does Boat US have a synopsis on this version? Red So tell me again why I should support this boatus anti clean water effort? Bob For many years the EPA exempted pleasure boats from complying with a law that was drafted to prevent foreign ships from discharging "ballast water" in US harbors. That law, applied to foreign ships, is a good one. Sometimes the ballast water is seriously polluted, or it may contain foreign organisms that become invasive in a new environment. An environmental group in Portland Oregon was suing the EPA over some matter or another, and in the course of pronouncing a ruling the judge also (and very surprisingly) included a statement that the EPA does not have the authority to exempt pleasure boats from the same discharge regulations that apply to commercial shipping. Even the environmentalists bringing the suit were shocked at the ruling, as this was not the outcome they were pursuing. If this ruling is literally applied, *nothing* (!) can enter the water from a boat, unless the boater has purchased a permit allowing it. By "nothing", the rules will include "those discharges incidental to the normal operation of a boat". If you have an inboard or even an outboard engine, you cannot operate it without discharging cooling water in the process. You would need a permit to do so- so you would be reduced to rowing or sailing under all circumstances without a pemit. If you begin taking on water and need to activate your bilge pump, forget it. Before you can begin evacuating water from the bilge you must be certain that your permit is up to date, as the fines can run as high as $32,000 per day if it is not. Wash you boat? Heavens no. Not even with municipal water from a hose and using no soap. That wash water will be carrying dirt from the hull and decks into the lake or ocean below- and that's considered a polluting discharge from a boat. This is not an "anti clean water bill". Discharges of sewage, garbage, petroleum products, etc will continue to be covered by existing rules and regulations. The Clean Boating Act will simply prevent discharges incidental to the normal operation of a boat (and not already prohibited by law) from becoming subject to additional permits and taxation. The bill specifically authorizes the EPA to exempt pleasure boats from the requirements that will still apply to commercial ships. |

Even Cindy fluff for brains might be able to understand the situation now. You provided a most accurate and excellent summary! How is it that there are so many stupid, liberal judges around to cause problems with our liberties? Wilbur Hubbard |

Correct me if I am wrong, but I am under the impression that in USA judges have to get elected. That being so, who would elect a stupid,liberal judge? Hard to imagine isn't it? |

The right-wingnuts have got to have someone to rail against, so they elect stuplid, liberal judges. If that fails, they elect a president who appoints stupid, right-wingnut judges. See how it works.... -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
