Why are we humans so hell-bent on ruining all of our natural resources? Most of which actually provide us with the food, water and breathable atmosphere to survive.

And cows

and fish

pigs. We raised a pig every year when we had our farm. They had a small, raised 'house' w/ hay and access to a large outdoor fenced area. Each pig would choose the corner as far away as possible for his elimination. Our pigs were sociable, friendly and clean. Pigs get a bad rap because they are kept in spaces too small.

Fish? Really? You want to go there just to criticize my post? Why not try to understand the bigger meaning of my post rather than making petty statements about specific animals' habits?

It apparently eluded you so let me explain. The idea behind my post was not to debate every animal's habits but to make a broader statement that we humans are doing irreparable harm to our environment.

I guess simile and metaphor are beyond your reach.

I was just goofing. Probably should have included one of these: or or or maybe

Well, I'll let him know, AFTER he drinks it, that I crapped in the pitcher of water and fished the turd out before presenting it to him ...

Thanks for the link.

I live in FL.

for the federal government to halt commercial fishing, until they federalized the waters.

Since then, we use steam distilled water for drinking and cooking.

Unfortunately, we still use tap water for showering and everything else.

country and the world.

spring.

Those were the days... But the winters were very cold there. Florida is warm in the winter.

... a Tea Party freakazoid?

Enforcing existing regulations -- that were previously ignored -- in compliance with the result of a lawsuit is real, real far away from "federalization" or even "basicly federalizing".

It's hard to disapprove of the long overdue enforcement, but I have no problem shooting this messenger.

and like you said, the exaggerations sometimes mirror RW exaggerations.

At least in this case the actual action is actually significant. "Federalizing the water", i'm not so sure about...

I live in Tallahassee. You only have to go down to Perry to experience the horrible smell from the paper mill. The Fenholloway River has been totally destroyed by the Buckeye Plant. They had so much political pull that no one could ever do anything about it.

I moved back to Florida when it appeared that they were moving in a more environmental direction only to have the Republicans take over after Bob Graham was governor and start dismantling all the progress that had been made.

Sounds horrible.

Welcome to DU.

This is "The Onion".... right?
