Most boaters make conscientious environmental choices. The few that
persist in dumping holding tanks in inland waters or pumping the bilge

responsible majority. Our recreational enjoyment depends upon
maintaining acceptably clean waterways and a healthy fishery.
Environmental activists on the radical fringes of that movement would
do well to recognize that the average pleasure boater isn't a serious
threat to the eco-system.


But there are constantly MORE of these innocent, average boaters,
vying for space in finite waters. The U.S. population is projected to
exceed 400 million and perhaps 500 million by mid-century. All this
talk of "invasive species" is overlooking the most obvious one. Growth-
addicts accept the constant crowding of natural places as inevitable
progress. Others see it as the mindless suffocation it really is.

I don't see evidence of "responsibility" in a good percentage of the
boating public, especially the PWC crowd. Whether or not they're into
illegal dumping, they lack respect for basic peace & quiet, and are
happy to cause wake intrusions. Fast powerboats should be limited to
areas far offshore, or "white trash" reservoirs that weren't natural
lakes to begin with.

Boaters who complain about having discharges controlled may have more
to hide than they admit. The mere presence of gasoline or diesel
exhaust in or around water is unnatural. I also question the video
clip where he claims fees could be over $1,000 if enacted. Is that per
year, or lifetime?

Of course, Bush's EPA (Environmental Pillaging Agency) isn't eager to
enforce anything that inconveniences people, who are infinitely more
important than nature, even though nature is keeping them alive.

Environmentalist groups. But a court shouldn't be beholden to any special
interests.


Since "The Environment" allows the human economy to exist, I question
your definition of special interests. Due to mindless population
growth, nature suffers a death of 1,000 cuts each day. Every "petty"
regulation can help offset increasing pressure on waterways.

I question the respect for nature of many (power) boaters. They seem
much more interested in noise and speed than aesthetic values, so
illegal discharges wouldn't be surprising. Par for the course with the
motorsports, F-nature crowd. Dumping in the middle of a lake or river
is easy to get away with, like going in your swim trunks. I say tough
luck if they have to be permitted. It might make them think twice
before casually tainting the water.

Read about the recent Camp Lejeune, NC toxin revelations if you think
everyone takes water quality seriously. This happened for same reason
they have to put No Dumping placards on street drains leading to
rivers.

I'm part of the group that didn't self-create. Somebody else is
responsible for my presence on the planet, I didn't ask or decide to
be born but now that I am here I don't plan to commit suicide to
reduce my impact on Gaia.

Defining all boaters by what you consider to be the thoughtless
actions of some stereotypical PWC'ers is pretty extreme.

The problem with the regulation is the definition of "discharge".
Cooling water picked up from a lake or ocean and passed through the
exceptionally clean water jacket of an engine becomes a discharge when
it is expelled. Any boat needs to "discharge" bilge water to remain
afloat. If you and your zero-population-frowth buddies are out
kayaking and one of the kayaks ships some water.....don't you dare
bail it out! (That's a "discharge" under the law).

Certain discharges, like untreated sewage, garbage, or petroleum
products are prohibited by law and should be. The legislation only
permits discharges "incidental to the normal operation of a boat."
One can certainly boat without pumping sewage directly overboard, but
it's pretty tough to stop rainwater from running across a deck and
over the side. That rainwater is technically a "discharge", and is
probably less polluted than the rainwater that runs off the roof of
your house, or my house, etc. Would you recommend we all tear the
roofs off of our houses? I'm sure the answer is no.


Of course, Bush's EPA (Environmental Pillaging Agency) isn't eager to

important than nature, even though nature is keeping them alive.

Many of us were raised to be "conservationists". I'd like to think I'm
among such a group. A conservationist is one who believes in using
natural resources sparingly and responsibly- and in the case of
renewable resources using them at a rate that is no faster than they
will regenerate.

I'm not sure what some of the younger green people are all about.
How dare they breathe, excrete waste, wear natural or synthetic
fibers, ride in an automobile or (heavens!) own a computer with which
to access a group such as this? All of those actions adversely impact
the millions of species that were here before people. You undoubtedly
are aware of the enormous disposal problems and hazardous wastes
associated with computers.....

(some of that hazardous waste appears in this NG on a regular
basis)...

Should you not be allowed to own a computer, even if you are
responsibile when you dispose of it, simply because it's possible to
point out examples of other computer owners who are not responsible?

Nice!

"An EPA investigator, Tyler Amon, acknowledged Tuesday that officials had
considered accusing some civilian Navy employees of obstruction of justice.
Amon, who testified despite objections from the Bush administration, said
some employees interviewed during the criminal investigation appeared
coached and were not forthcoming with details.

Rep. Ed Whitfield of Kentucky, the panel's ranking Republican, said he was
puzzled why criminal charges weren't pursued."



The administration was uncomfortable with questions. What a surprise.

Hey, don't blame me. I voted for Bush. He's working hard to eradicate the

I just read some of the links on your website. Don't take this the wrong
way, but YOU'RE ****ING NUTS.

a.. Couples should voluntarily limit their family-size to two or fewer
children, and not just for personal economic reasons. This sort of restraint
goes against natural inclinations but "death control" (modern medicine) must
be matched with birth control for balance to occur. It's a small price to
pay for preserving the future.
a.. The government should eliminate tax breaks for children, either
altogether or after a family already has two kids. Tax breaks encourage
population growth by artificially reducing the cost of having children.
a.. Likewise, welfare subsidies that increase with family size should be
dropped as soon as possible. A family cap law in New Jersey has shown good
results.
a.. Pregnant teenagers should be denied all government assistance unless
they identify the fathers and are subject to the same standards of parental
competency as adoptive parents.
a.. Like it or not, abortion prevents millions of unwanted births each year,
and is such a widely used (albeit unpleasant) form of birth control that it
must be kept legal forever. Well-meaning people who recoil at the thought of
a dead fetus would do well to think about the millions of already-born kids
who die from hunger each year. The real world does not allow for
single-issue panaceas.

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/4881381.html

Story about a legal resident of the US arrested, in the US, for what
he *might* do. Authorities claim "he's the type of person Al Qaida
likes to use..." He has been held for an extended period of time
without due process, and will continue to be held without any charges
being filed while the Bush administration appeals this ruling to the
entire Supreme Court. Only those who live a life enjoying freedoms
guaranteed by the Constitution need to be fearful when powerful
leaders begin redefining or interpreting those rights, others have
nothing to worry about.

This SOB now rots in a military brig in SC waiting for the Supreme
Court to decide whether the Executive Branch can label a US Citizen,
(like Jose Padilla, yet another case) an enemy of the state and lock
her or him up potentially forever. That's a power that is
traditionally enjoyed by dictators and kings, and something over which
we pressed the issue back in 1776.

If these people are badasses, (and I'm prepared to concede that most
all of them likely are), we need to charge them with a crime, put them
on trial, and then throw them in jail forever (or worse) if that's the
legal punishment for that specific crime. In a democracy, we resolve
crimes against people, property, or the state with a legal process.
The fact that a few of the crooks get off is a small price to pay to
avoid imprisoning innocent people- which would be the greatest
injustice of all.

Given recent events, and moving forward in time a generation or two,
how impossible would it seem that someday and at some time some
president will decide, "This group of people is a threat! (to my
political future and prospects of re-election)"? In some countries
without the freedom we enjoy in the US, people are routinely
imprisoned and often killed for what they think......or even for
merely what the government *suspects* they might be thinking.

99.9% of us have nothing personal or immediate to fear from a program
that identifies "potential" terrorists and locks them up forever
without a trial. We all have a lot to fear, now that the camel's nose
in under the tent, about what will next be considered a "threat" to
the US. Could outspoken Republicans wind up ex-communicado in some
Gulag in rural Wyoming under a future Democratic presidency? (Or vice
versa?)

We are a country ruled by laws, and those laws are subject to the
Constitution. No person, regardless of professed motive or particular
political party, has the right to deprive even one US citizen of his
or her constitutionally guaranteed freedoms. Saying that "it's OK as
long as it doesn't apply to me or anybody I know" is no different than
remarking that a gang of thugs beating up old ladies on the corner is
OK as far as you're concerned, because you don't personally happen to
be an old lady.


It's really just a talking point
like the years the libs cried about the rules allowing FBI to check
into someones library reading. Crying for years when in fact as of
last fall, the FBI had asked for exactly zero library records, none,
nada.


I'm very sorry to say that your statement that the FBI has asked for
"zero library records, none, nada" is wishful thinking. It's also
untrue, but I suspect you're merely repeating something that you heard
on a talk show and didn't bother to verify.

Here's a specific instance. Names, dates, librarians involved, names
of the books in question, etc.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion...an-edit_x..htm


FWIW, in her position as a bank CFO my wife is frequently approached
by the FBI for information about particular account holders. Each time
she is approached, she has to sign a statement acknowledging that she
can be charged with a crime if she notifies the account holders that
the government is snooping through their financial records. Point
being, there's a lot more government snooping goin on, for a variety
of reasons, than we'll ever know about. Consider the instances that we
do hear about (see above) merely the "tip of the iceberg"

The originator of this thread titled his subject "Liberal 9th Circuit
Court Ruling could kill boating". That's a scary thought. Not that
there's a serious threat to boating.....(a law that stupid is
unenforceable and will be ignored by eveybody)....but that we have
allowed our politicians, talk show hosts, newspaper editors, and
others to so shape our opinions that we now see courts and the law as
partisan. Will we change to Plege of Allegiance to "with liberty and
justice for all..members of the correct political party"? Katy, batten
down the hatches and activate the auxiliary pumps- the ship of state
is threatening to founder.

Well, I guess it is harder to prove a negative, but I will try. I saw
a pretty extensive report last fall where pundits on both sides
admitted there had been no requests to any judge at that time for any
library records of any citizen. That was late last fall, I really
don't remember where I saw the report. I challenge you to come up with
one legit story of this happening, I trust you can't.

And why do you suggest "you probably won't"? I am not lazy, and I
don't talk out of my ars, if I said it, I feel it has been
substantially proven. My oldest and I go over this stuff all the time
and and ***** is a professional researcher (political consultant) for
a very liberal research and consulting outfit in Washington working
for imigrant and native american rights, and we go over this civil
rights stuff all the time. ***** has almost unlimited acess to
professional researchers and archive information and can't show me any
real evidence either beyond second hand anecdotal clips told by
disgrunteled activists of any real institutional violation of civil
rights directly related to the Bush Admin. Maybe some extentions of
the usual violations the poor across the board have suffered here for
generations . Anyway, please, show me how your rights have been
violated by the Bush Admin, or anyone else for that matter, like most

Among other things, the Patriot Act (which you have not read from end to

every citizen loses that right.

You, being such an expert on the Patriot Act, should have no trouble
whatsoever showing us the sentence which 'meddles with' you right of
habeas

Do so, or hush whining.



You took that oath, at least according to your stories. How did it feel,
promising to defend something you were ignorant about? What did you think
you were defending? "The country"? That's just a piece of land, like any
other. What about the principles which you so easily dismiss as trash?
