I actually meant to send that somewhere else. But since it's here...

He's the one that made the quotes. If he didn't want to be remembered
in this way he shouldn't have made himself a public figure and/or
shouldn't
have said these things. ~ My guess is that he'd be happy to be
remembered
this way...he said these things and probably meant most of them.

By the way - I liked Reagan. I didn't / don't agree with some of what he
stood for, but I did agree with some things and, mostly, I did think
that
on
the whose he was an honorable man trying to do the right things.

Hard to defend a statment like this though...
"Trees cause more pollution than automobiles do." -- Ronald Reagan,
1981

Maybe it was taken out of context or some such?

Pine trees outgas more hydrocarbons than cars do although they are
simple
chains and don't contain lead, sulfur or mercury. And when they burn
(they are genetically designed to thrive on forest fires (the small
normal
ones that nature provides but we have stopped. The buildup of
undergrowth
due to our stopping the forest fires has caused conditions that mean
much
higher temps and the trees die)) they also put out massive amounts of
carbon
dioxide and complex hydrocarbons when they burn.


Good grief, Jeff...reads like you are reposting from the Bush's "screw
the environment briefing book."

Trees are bad, cars are good, and if we don't cut down all the forests
so the loggers can turn a buck, why, disaster will follow in short order.

No, Harry it just seems so to one who doesn't see the big picture. If you
read it you would see that I am advocating BACK TO NATURE. Do not intervene
without much thought in natures processes like for example stopping forest
fires. Stopping all forest fires was a policy for so many years that it has
created conditions that promote the higher temp fires (because of
undergrowth) that KILL forests. Also, I mention "simple chains and don't
contain lead, sulfur or mercury" that means that trees are not as dangerous
to us as cars unless they burn.

And Harry, the "pilotless drone" as you call him has not spouted any anti
environment rehtoric but has advocated a rational reasonable course for this
country. This is a much admired policy by those of us on the right and
center.

Harry you knee jerk react to anything that's said here. Is this an attempt
to flame the news group, is it a thought out policy on your part? I have a
hard time beliving that you really believe most of your posts as some of
them have shown that you do have a mind.
