Send your environmentalists to take a sample of any roadway. With the
spilled oil, antifreeze, etc. I can guarantee that under their
regulations, every roadway in the US should be disposed of as well, of
course under proper EPA disposal methods.


I always thought it was strange that nobody complains about the millions of
miles of petroleum based asphalt roads paved all over the country, leaching
into the groundwater, let alone the runoff of engine oils, gasoline, etc.

I complained about it a few times in this newsgroup. Oil mess is often
preventable simply by switching to a mechanic who's not an idiot. A few
knuckleheads told me that the oil glop I see in parking lots is just a
hallucination, so I dropped the subject.

Environmentalists like their cars. What they don't like are other
people's boats. That, and the fact that every once in awhile they
get contributions from land developers or someone else who doesn't
particularly like boats. The "Save The Manatee" group in Florida got
quite a bit of special interest funding from people whose only real
objective was in having a speed zone in front of their property. It's
still going on.
