we need a third political party

Environmental Stewardship? I hope you start by eliminating the EPA.

There is a lot of potential in the Libertarian party but i still have some hang ups.

Environmental Stewardship? I hope you start by eliminating the EPA.

So who is going to provide the environmental stewardship?

 

[beetlespin]

I think he is just refering to the sorry job the EPA does. Did you know that 90% os epa superfund $ is spent on legal fees?

 

[Bfish]

Yes, I knew that. The majority of that 90% is coming from industry that would rather fight in court to stall cleaning up rather than clean up (large % is also going after shell corporations that fold when EPA heat comes down).

I also understand that EPA and FWS and FS and NMFS all have unfunded mandates too (ie required to monitor/regulate yet no money for initiating the task).

Possum are you saying, if the Government declares Martial Law that we as American citizens shouldn't be scared or feel threatened?

You will not be any more scared or threatened than myself, I will be the guy telling you what is going on. How and why we are resopnding the way we are, and very up front with what the dangers are to you and your family. Been in place since 2003. Very bipartisn, I promise you. My wife is part of the medical team. As polarized as our country is now, it worries me about how many will believe what they are hearing. This wolf crying over the internet, may be the number one weapon for the terrrorist, because if something really bad happens, who are people going to trust. You guys going to trust me? Lot of you guys have very different veiwpoints than I do, but you know who I am and some of you know were I live. The pump letter proved that, very funny by the way, wife got a kick out of it. Ever heard of divide and conquer, not feeling very good right now about alot of things.

1) If you ask the kids in Whitwell that gratuated in 2000, I told them that spring something really bad was going to happen, I had forgat about it but the Jr,s in a history class reminded my of everything I said.

2) If I was a terrorist, near future is good time to do something? Have know Idea what.

3) I hope I am very wrong and I hate these gut feelings.

Thought I would share, been under a lot of stress, hope that is all it is.

Are you associated with FEMA Possum? I worked with/for FEMA for 2 months after Katrina hit in New Orleans as a part of a dispatch squard with the Corps of Engineers. We were NOT received very well from the locals. I could only imagine what would happen if nationwide Marshall Law was declared and NORTHCOM was released into the public. I'm sure many Americans would react with fear. To a point I can't blame them. There is a lot of stuff sensationalized on the internet that is envoking fear into many Americans that claim a police state is coming, and our next major disaster will usher in a permanent marshall law. i'm not saying it will happen, but many fear it.

 

[Possum]

It will not be permanent. I am thinking 10 to 14 days. However when all activity shuts down in a country like this, it is a very long time. If it happens, one it will desrtroy us, or two it will bring us closer together, or we will die like fools.

The EPA is 100% not looking to protect the environment. It is now operated and controlled by extremist, lobbyist and lawyers. Add on top of that , the EPA's only effectiveness to protect the US environment is to over regulated until business locates elsewhere outside of US boundaries.
I know this for a fact and have even heard one director for Region 4 say that "if a company can not meet our regulations they need to move to Mexico."
