Agreed. The City of Chicago saw it first as water to flush their sewage down the Mississippi. I don't know if Chicago treats any of its sewage yet. They were resisting last I read about it, however long ago that was. As far as hurting the economy, by closing it: that BS. It would hurt two r three shipping companies. They could care less about the Great Lakes or anything else. It is better for one or two shipping companies, to be inconvenienced or to change, than, the entire Great Lakes, and streams to destroyed. Many more millions depend, on the Great Lakes ecology, for incomes and other reasons than the hand full of shipping companies etc. Not just the US but Canada. Why should Americans sacrifice the Great Lakes, FOREVER, to satisfy a few shipping companies?? If the People that ran these Companies were concerned about America, the millions that ultimately depend on the Great Lakes , for the economy they would not pursue their to hell with the Great Lakes attitude. What's not shocking these days that Politicians are acting or reacting to the wishes of these few companies as opposed to the desires of Americans and our ecology and Country's economy. |

Given the floods, the mess the river ways are in is just proof we should let nature do the work as in the end, nature wins. -- Government isn't the solution to the bad economy, it is the problem. ------ In Debt We Trust! -- Obama and the democrats, world record in debt incursion. |

By your recommendation, we would never have things like hydroelectric power or even agriculture beyond subsistence farming. Stick to what you know. Oh wait. You don't know anything. |
