I understand that the purpose of this alias was to facilitate open and frank
discussions of all matters environmental. Of course there will always be
whining, and not just from environmental whackos, that is just human nature -
and besides, when it is done in a good natured way it can lead to interesting
and sometimes amusing discussions.

But I do feel compelled to set the record straight on one thing.

First, I DID say "However, if someone has the new figure handy perhaps it can be
shared with all of us."
However, the rest of the included statements are not mine - I still have a full
head of hair, thank you, even after all these years.

For the same reason you would if you could afford it. I thought this was
suppose to help small business comply with environment government
regulations, not act as a source for environmental whackos to whine.

Sounds like a  "Rush Limbaugh" type of logic except he used Rhode Island in
his analogy.  I always wondered why he lives in a large home with lots of
property  instead of living  30 or 40 feet from his neighbors.

This argument of "overpopulation" always makes the hair on my neck stand up,
especially since I have very little left on my head to take up the cause.
If there are 6 billion people on earth, give or take a few, and there is
167,624,300 land acres in the state of Texas, then every man, woman, and
child could live there and occupy a space 30 by 40 feet. If that seems too
small for the folks that like to spread out a little more, maybe we can get
Arizona to help out.

I believe words mean something, and when an argument starts out inaccuracy,
why argue?
