oh so you finally realiztha there has to be a reason! wel buddy boy louise is right it's easy to point the finger at the lowest denominator in the chain (& that is us). you are right there has to be motivation for the government to do that "CRAZY SHIT". its money you know $$$$ & lots of it from the sugar industry on up. they put the money into the PACS & then the PACS "buy" the government officials who then insert the government into the mix. do YOU get it now? we are then made the scapegoats, since we are the most disorganized group that they have to face. ETC,ETC,ETC. hank In a message dated 2/5/1999 10:47:46 AM Pacific Standard Time, aocfishman@ho*.co* writes: << ** 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.
