In response to a remark about Victoria BC dumping millions of gallons of raw sewage every day into waters where many of us boat, I posted a newspaper article that headlined the Canadian Liberal party is pressing for funding for a sewage plant. I went out of my way to point out that later in the same article, the author cited some members of the Conservative party who are also in favor of the new sewer plant. I guess because the article mentioned the "L" word at all, it was then important to abridge my original statement and call it political in nature. Too bad. Now, had I taken a position that liberals all want a sewer plant and the conservatives are too concerned with low taxes and maximizing corporate profits to build one, (which isn't the case).....*that* would have been political. |

I had no problem with your post. The question concerned my post. But, never mind. -- John H ******Have a spectacular day!****** |
