OK Sen. Bob, since you keep bringing this back to the list: >><< Many years ago the army corps of engineers drained florida... > My point is that >"Sport Diving" (as we all are are apart of) doesn't create the "ADVERSE >IMPACTS" to our environment, government does. ** I get it, government - or the evil empire - just goes out and does this crazy shit with no motivation. sure, it is SOOO simple. Man, I was totally unaware that this faceless entity was responsible for all the bad things that have happened to the environment and for all my misfortunes in life. Getting back to your specific and very simplified example of the Everglades and degradation of water quality (Florida Bay), I am sure no one else compelled the COE to divert the Everglades, such as, hmmm maybe the Sugar Industry? Get a grip. And yes, divers are to blame also - why? because we all fall into the general population that is increasing daily. You and I are no more innocent than anyone else. The Keys, that you go to every XMAS, would be fine if there were not thousands of tourists, that need increased lodging, restaurants, and marinas - hmm, which takes real estate, probably much of it coastal wetlands, to cater to their (yours and mine too) needs. More people = more problems. It's that simple. People like you bitching about your position in life, because it's everyone elses fault, ain't gonna help. Quit pointing fingers, learn the issues, and develop solutions. If you ain't part of the solution, your'e part of the problem. GAME OFF Michael C.
