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. -----Original Message----- From: Dan Cavaliere [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 8:52 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [EN] pies and skies and such 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?
