There is no oil drilling in the Chesapeake bay and it has plenty of

People flush used oil down the toilet? That must make an awful mess of
the toilet, I've never heard of such a thing.


Toilet, sink, it's all the same sewer.

Plenty more washes in from streets, etc., and groundwater from
people pouring it into their yards or wherever.

But oil from 2-stroke outboards, especially older ones, is still a major
source of pollution.

Believe it or not, there's serious science behind this. Armies of PhD's
labor for years to identify the most significant sources of pollution, and
then to find the most cost-effective ways of addressing the problems.
The trouble is, too many people still don't want to hear the answers.

Wanna bet "armies of PhD's" driving their Escalades to the university and
the armies of bureaucrats administering the programs the PhD's are milking
for tax dollars causes FAR more pollution than all the 2-stroke engines
that have been dipped in a lake since 1900?.....

We just can't help ourselves.....It is inevitable.
