Hi folk......
Don't wanna be Chicken Little, but below is the sort of response the
logging companies had, also see what happened to the Spotted Owl
territory, the big Redwood tree issue, the Gun Control lobby in
Australia and UK. MTBE problems, the Home Workers Liability deal with
OSHA. Fishing Quotas, Dolfin/Jack/Fin fish restrictions.
Expanded anti whaling groups. And don't forget the vehicle scrappage by
the EPA to rid us of old and often classic vehicles to off set factory
emmissions.. See the last few pages in the Hemming's News.These guy's
have a lot of momentum and experience. Are you next.?
