 EL> It is not below me to discuss recycling or organics,or bicycling
 EL> to work.
If there had been proof in the thread that environmental damages or even
eco issues were part of your blast on the USA's indebtedness when you
posted the messages, not one post from me or others in the echo would have
transpired.  Only after we brought it to your attention did you bring up
the environment and ecological issues - an obvious ruse to get yourself
on-topic and continue the thread.
As was explained back last year, when my position on the environment was
questioned, I have tried to refrain from posting very much in the echo (one
way or the other) concerning my position, in an effort to keep an
impartial view because of being a moderator.  So to clarify again, I am
probably what would be considered a wise-user.  I don't destroy the
environment, and our house recycles some things.  I walk as much as
possible, instead of taking the car for short trips (too far to ride a
bicycle to work on a daily basis, cause I could end up 90 miles away on a
job). When I lived in Florida, my ex and I were  taggers for the National
Marine Fisheries (probably the most active non-commercial taggers in the
Gulf).  I had my own garden, replanted more trees of choice than the ones
that got cut to make room for construction of house and sheds.  I plan on
building an environmental- friendly home (even pursuing the prospects of
building an Earthship or other eco-house when I do build my home).
Rarely have I ever posted in here, except in an official capacity.  Then, I
do it as objectively as possible, checking threads and making sure before I
post that I should wear the cap or let something slide.
