Bad day on the Chesapeake Bay!
We keep waiting for some good news about the Bay, but it doesn't come. Here's the latest from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation: http://www.cbf.org/site/News2?page=N...m5pu741.app26a -- John H On the 'PocoLoco' out of Deale, MD "Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it."

John posted some disturbing news. Both republicans and democrats equally pollute. |

John posted some disturbing news. Both republicans and democrats equally pollute. Why do you keep calling me Kevin, Jim? Now, take a look around you, Jim. I fully understand that Democrats and Republicans both pollute, but tell me, which of those two do you think is to blame for relaxing environmental laws? Do you think that by relaxing or sometimes eliminating environmental laws that they deter, or add to the pollution problem? I didn't "turn it into a political thing", Jim, it all ready was one. |

I fully understand that Democrats and Republicans both pollute,....snip So we agree. Thanks. I didn't "turn it into a political thing", Jim, it all ready was one. How so Kevin? I saw nothing political in John's post or link. What exactly did you see that was political in either? |

I saw nothing political in John's post or link. What exactly did you see that was political in either? You're both right and wrong sorta kinda. I'm not familiar with the local situation around the bay, but I do know that what's causing a lot of the problem is the same thing that's causing problems in a couple of the Finger Lakes of upstate NY: Runoff from farms, mostly normal fertilizers, and it doesn't matter THAT much whether they're synthetic fertilizers or organic ones, like composted manure which the Amish farmers use. Here, I don't see much arguing between the parties when it comes to working out these problems. Local pols have to literally look their constituents in the eye, and maybe watch restaurants, motels and marinas go out of business if they allow a recreational resource like a lake turn to crap. I suspect that when problems surrounding the Bay are fixed, it will also be local powers that deal with it. However, on a national level, where laws are made regarding more dangerous pollutants, the Republican party is almost exclusively responsible for the WEAKENING of the rules. If you don't agree with that, you're not reading much. |

I saw nothing political in John's post or link. What exactly did you see that was political in either? Again, I'm not Kevin, but seeing how you are responding to ME, I'll answer. It's already a political thing, simply because the Republicans are responsible for weaker environmental laws. That causes more pollution. If the republicans didn't weaken, or downright do away with some environmental laws, pollution wouldn't worsen, now would it? There's much more to pollution than fertilizer runoff, or animal feces. I'd think it would be simple to understand that if the republicans didn't weaken or do away with environmental regulations, then we wouldn't be having this conversation. THAT is why it is political in nature. I'm sure you understand, don't you? You seem to be one of the brighter right wingers here. |

... We keep waiting for some good news about the Bay, but it doesn't come. Here's the latest from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation: http://www.cbf.org/site/News2?page=N...m5pu741.app26a John, how often is stuff like this really in peoples' faces in the news? I wonder because it's the kind of story which, if people see it once every two months, they shake their heads, say "that sucks", and then forget about it and do nothing. Same problem here with Lake Ontario. The NY DEC is finding increasing levels of dioxin in fish, publicizing the results (not often enough), and you hear people say "Wow...is that still a problem? I thought they were taking care of it". (They???) |

It seems to make the 'real' news around here about twice a year, when the Maryland and then the Virginia governors decide it's time for a little environmental pat on the back. It won't *really* hit the news until the crabbers go out of business (which is happening) and the commercial fishermen can't make a living. Then maybe something will happen. It makes the 'newsgroup news' about once every two months, when I see something I deem newsworthy! -- John H On the 'PocoLoco' out of Deale, MD "Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it."
