Boy, oh boy.... Living on the border I hear so much that is so different.
On the American TV channels I hear about how much pollution Canada sends
down the US way... on the Canadian Weather Network, I hear about how much
pollution comes up from the States over into Canada... The Environmentalists
tell us that the passenger vehicle is the worst culprit for pollution.
HAHAHA!
Notice the middle part of "Environmentalists" ---- "mental". That's how I'm
starting to feel about the whole thing. I see how much pollution all the
factories produce and I highly doubt that all our vehicles could possibly
compete with that. Frankly.... my personal belief is that it's a lot
cheaper and easier to pick on the consumer than to take on large
corporations that supply all our needs.
I've had my own personal run in with these so called environmentalists and I
think that there are too many that don't have all the facts and go
overboard. Personally I don't appreciate an old man with this grandchildren
walking around and standing in front of my truck while trying to offroad on
government land with permission. Not only does our 4x4 club clean up by
picking up garbage that others leave lying around, but help those in need
during bad weather.
So, to all the radical environmentalist fanatics.... I say..... get your
facts completely straight and make sure that you're not personally a
violator yourself before pointing fingers.
Ok, ok, ok... I've vented and off the soapbox now. Sorry for the long post,
but it's so easy to blame everyone else and report false findings in the
media these days. We're all culprits on both sides of the border in one way
or another.
