Can someone phone Obama and tell him I just pee'd in the wash in my backyard as a form of protest. Tomorrow I think I'll go dump the barrel of used oil I have in it, just out of spite.

Don't do that.. I mean SAY that... That's what paints the opposition as "PRO pollution" instead of simply "Sane regulations". It makes their job easier.. They aren't fighting over something
insignificant 2ppm's vs 1ppm... They are now fighting against the guy who wants to dump a barrel of oil in a stream(wash/part time stream)... And that sways popular opinion... I'm for "Sane" regulations and if
I had to choose sides... Their's, or your's... (I'd prefer a sane middle ground)... But I would take their side...

Besides.... oil makes gold float out of your pan, or if you are in a wash, it'll clog up your drywasher cloth.

I know you won't actually dump a barrel of oil, and its just frustration... I've felt the same way... And I've been aggravated... I have eliminated everything and anything political from my life.
I don't listen to talk radio anymore.. The political stuff... I don't read political articles, I pay no attention to politics, I won't get on a political board anymore... I won't read a single article about
Obama... Pro or Con...

They screwed up the radio on me out here a while ago... Had 4 AM talk radio stations... One went to ESPN, one went to Fox Sports, One went to Country and one went to Classic Rock... The country
and the classic rock on AM went back to talk radio... But I won't listen anymore... Sports.. Music... Car Talk, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me... On the talk radio channels there are some intriguing local programs on
the weekend..... Hannity, Rush, political crap on NPR... I won't listen to it... Its made my life better. Dropped my blood pressure 10 points.

They need to require a concrete containment system around Washington DC to keep the stink from leaking out.. Just sayin. And this is not a "political" statement and is not directed toward any particular individual or party... Consider it simply frustration at the fact that our hobby is directly affected by these type of actions taken by people who have lost touch with reality living in their brick & concrete castles.

Hopefully history won't repeat itself there was a time when it was illegal to own gold and we couldn't drink. And they say it's a free country!
