Why are naked socialists trying to hobble this country and can't you just give them a blanket or something?
Typical...!Agenda 21
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agenda 21 is a non-binding, blah blah blah
Did you watch the whole thing?Yep, and there were many that spouted the same bullshit when Theodore Roosevelt created our National Park System. Sorry Steve, you are on the losing end on this. We will have a cleaner nation and the power we need.
I`m sure Steve has nothing against the EPA for what it was intended to do, nor have I. 1975 to 1982 I worked as an analytical chemist for the CDN FDA & D. of E. We worked in close cooperation with your EPA and at what we did at that time was a far cry from the bureaucratic overreach activities, which has become common practice now. But then both departments were staffed > 90% with Chemists not bureaucrats with no or very little scientific background as is the case now.
Go and pay them a visit and see for yourself. You will be hard pressed to find a Chemist @ a BSc or higher level in any of their labs. Just a few trained Lab Techs doing rubber stamped routine analysis.
The bulk of the staff are now all "administrative" and from what I have seen made it up the ladder by following policy directives from the top down. A 180 degree U-turn from the way it used to work.
So what made you decide to get into Geology?
No matter, as long as you like it and it seems you do stick with it and I wish you the best. Who knows maybe you`ll be working up here in Canada some day and I`ll show you some good fishing holes
Have you eaten any more road kill rattle snakes lately ?
I think you`ld like these much better:
That catch was from Lake Hazen, Ellesmere Island

Hi Polar. Actually that rattlesnake was killed on the road. By the axe with which I lopped off his head. Otherwise, he was in great shape Not bad eating, would not hunt them to eat if fish were available, for sure.
I had a sample of some of your north Canadian fish in 1975. Took my trout rod up to Yellowknife, and was trying out some lures, just to see what was in the lake, when a fellow walks up, and asks me what I was fishing for. I was hoping he was not the law, for I had no license. I said I didn't know, and asked him what was in the lake. He said the little ones were 8 lbs, and I had best put away the trout gear, as they would just bust it up. Went back to his pickup and brought me back a big chunk of a 'jackfish', as he called the northern pike. Mmmmmmm......good! Yes, I would dearly love to have you show me some good fishing holes up there!!!!!!!
Why geology? I don't know. Why do some people love to collect stamps? I have always been curious about rocks, love to be out in the woods and mountains, so geology just seemed like a natural choice. And then, in Oregon, so much of our geology is reletively recent, and kind of colorfully splattered all over the place, it was just kind of there to be looked at. Something you might find interesting on that subject, since you know the Oregon area, Prineville has been found to sit in a caldera about half the size of the Yellowstone caldera, dating back to about 38 million years.

Here is the link to that BBC article:Scientists from the University of Lyon have discovered a new way to split hydrogen gas from water, using rocks.
The method promises a new green energy source, providing copious hydrogen from a simple mixture of rock and water.
It speeds up a chemical reaction that takes geological timescales in nature.
In the reaction, the mineral olivine strips one oxygen and hydrogen atom from an H2O molecule to form a mineral called serpentine, releasing the spare hydrogen atom.
