<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>Saundra,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>Thank you again for pointing out that the
consequences of the megaloads far transcend local considerations -- a point
that proponents either refuse to recognize or have not the guts to
deal in an honest manner with.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>Several of us have commented at length on these
issues, but basically proponents act like no one has brought them up, that
they are unimportant, and/or irrelevant. Obviously the proponents are
not the "my brother's keeper type" and are among those that are generally
parts of problems but not parts of solutions. Part of the tough problems
that our country and the world now face are caused by similar individuals
though capable are unwilling to do or to pay their
share.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>The evils of the tar sands project *is*
irrelevant to whether or not we should allow them to move through town on public
roads. That's the downside to public roads. You can't control what
people do on them, apart from making sure they obey the law. The upside is
that no one can control what *you* do on them. They can't, for example,
decide that you can't use the road because you are against the tar sands
project. That egalitarian freedom is something I think is important,
though you seem willing to throw it under the bus as soon as it stops being
convenient for you.<BR><BR>Now, I don't know why you (and others) feel the need
to conflate my support for that one simple idea into some kind of tacit approval
of the tar sands project itself. Certainly claiming that you know that I
am somehow "part of the problem" is simply asinine.<BR><BR>So, when are you
going to don your armor and your lance and march on the tar sands project?
Or are *you* part of the problem?<BR><BR>Paul<BR><BR></BODY></HTML>
