I'd rather have the oil
"Frogwatch" wrote in message ... REP. ALAN GRAYSON (D-FL) wants Repubs sent to prison for supporting drilling but he can start with me (although I am not repub) and I'll make him look as foolish as he is. MY beaches (Yes MINE as I am a 5th gen Florida native) used to be pristine and clear of condos and I could walk them without some idjit yankee telling me it belongs to him. There used to be salt marshes that produced crabs and redfish but they were filled for development spurred by tourism. I used to be able to walk into the sand dunes to a sheltered spot and build a fire and see the glory of the night sky, now the dunes were levelled for hotels and the night sky is nothing but neon. Given a choice between tar balls and tourism, there is no doubt, I'd take the tar balls. Oil jobs pay well, tourism pays minimum wage. Once condos foul the beaches, it is effectively forever whereas the oil will be gone soon enough. I'd go so far as to believe that tourists with their suntan grease have probably put more oil in MY beach sand than BP will. I get it.... you are a 'valued repeat customer' of Looney's Special Georgia Bud. This will do you no good in the long run. If you want an example.... just see The Freak up in Connecticut. |

Every few years the hotel owners bitch about the beach erosion (a natural process) so the state pays to have it "renourished" by pumping sand back up onto it in front of hotels. Tar balls, big deal, pump some sand on top of it. If the eco-fools had not convinced people that oil was evil, NW Florida could have real industry and not the fake tourist "industry" where poor people sell their souls because they have nothing else. I saw the poor fish houses sell out to condo builders because they could no longer afford the taxes on their waterfront property and then the fishermen and shrimpers have no place to put their boats. If we had an oil industry, those docks would be loading crew boats instead of being sold to condo developers. So, YES, the eco-fools are to blame for the demise of Florida for not allowing an industry that would have allowed the coast to remain in the hands of its native owners. |

Funny, lookup Tesoro ? (TSO). They are American and have had deaths that don't even make the papers. BP is like Toyota this way. It it was Exxon or Ameco... would it be the same? But it keeps idle minds busy off of DCs criminal behaviours. -- This depression is about liberal magots running debt liberally. |
