Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Who will own our ponds if the EPA gets its way?

I personally feel that there is no "them", there is only "us". All 50 of us. And all 50 of us are free. The "sides" implied or spoken of here in this thread are sides of the same coin. A few would portray a division where none should exist, Texas or no.

I'm both baffled and amused by the idea that some would apparently halt the fire truck en route to the blazing forest, because the vehicle failed to display DOT identification. We, ALL of us, share that forest the same way we share the water. Its protection should fall to all of us in my eyes. Articles, sections, paragraphs, and founding fathers....all of us.

Just to be clear, I still feel that the current regulation will get no traction. That doesn't mean we shouldn't watch that horizon, it means we don't need to scale the mountain to get a better look just yet. Some here are protesting the rule itself, which I understand and appreciate. But some appear to be more concerned with the delivery method rather than the rule itself. This issue has the potential to affect us all, later rather than sooner. And we should be discussing it, and planning for that future. I'm hopeful that productive discourse will continue, but I'm all done with wondering about the firetruck.
