OK. Thanks. Be interesting to see what he _does_ then, though! G

Also, that does not appear to have anything to do with Watt(s).

Scroll down. The quote in question does come from Watt.

Here's a couple gems from our good friend James Watt:

My responsibility is to follow the Scriptures which call
upon us to occupy the land until Jesus returns.

We don't have to protect the environment, the Second Coming
is at hand.

Good enough for you? Interestingly enough, Gail Norton (our present
Secretary of the Interior) is a protege of James Watt.

Watt and Boulton built steam pumps to drain mines. You must be thinking of
someone else. If you knew them as you claim, it's amazing at your age you
have the strength to lift a paddle.


Right: Watts, not Watt.

James Watts was Ronald Reagan's Secretary of the Interior. [snip]


Q. How much energy does it take to destroy a forest?

Rivermyron, I think if you google up "Interior Secretary James Watt",
you will discover that you were right the first time. It's "James
Watt". William is to be forgiven, since he's a furriner. If I were a
furriner, I don't think I'd want to squander much of my valuable time
following American domestic political issues, though I'd be worried
about whether the US President was going to find some pretext to
invide MY country next.

A: One Watt.

Nope. We all worry about what you lot do _inside_ the US as well,
never fear.

Thank you. Most of my knowledger of US politics comes from the left wing
union-run Canadian Broadcasting Corp. which accounts for my great
misunderstanding. However I do read Forbes magazine and there is an
interesting article in the latest issue on how negotiatiors are making
wildnerness areas out of corporate landholdings by unravelling all the
legal issues among the owners of the surface rights, the timber rights,
the subsruface rigths, and the various levels of government. Sounds promising.

I still think people should get their own cities cleaned up instead of
running off to the so-called wilderness to get away from the smell of
so-called civilization.

I don't think anyone can cite Jesus Chris on environmental issues since he
was only concerned with things spiritual. In his teaching God is concerned
about your soul, not your physical environment.

That's funny - I listen/watch the CBC and I know about James Watt
and a lot of other US political issues. I don't think the problem
is your sources.

I was going to say that I am a Canadian and the CBC was my main source of
TV news (we could only get two channels where I lived, and I hated CTV)
through the Reagan years, and yet at the time I knew all this stuff about
James Watt. But then William Watt now has the full resources of the
Internet at his beck and call, and he's still ignorant.

There is a famous exchange, usually attributed to Disraeli and Gladstone:
"After listening to your explanation, I'm still ignorant."
"Yes, but you're much better informed."

LOL Hardly non-biased, and just looking at the first 'article' it is full
of hype and mis-leading spew....

It's not wide open for all snowmobiles. It's just over a max of 700 a day,
all in *guided* groups, and using the same corridors used the rest of the
year by cars.
If you really want to clean up the air, then start banning over a million
and a half vehicles in the park the rest of the year. Oh, wait, you just
want to fuss about the little things, uh?


Since the first article is so full of mis;eading crap, the rest must be
also....

Oh, and then add the "give me your money" spew and you get the ultimate in
self-serving 'needs'....

We can start at the tip of the iceberg-rolling back Clean Air Act
protections via concessions to aging power plants.
