I don't doubt you for a minute, ewest. I also don't doubt that the more outrageous the story, the more air time it gets. Resulting in it being held up umpteen times as "proof" of how the agency can't do anything right, and needs to disbanded immediately. There are absolutely instances of abuse of power, but I'll bet for every overreach by the epa, there are far more instances where they accomplished what they were originally intended to do.

The story of the "cattle rancher" who dammed up the creek to make a "stock pond", only to stock it with fish, and build a dock, comes to mind. The guy was blatantly in the wrong, yet the media ran with his version of the story, and the public ate it up.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
