Light Pollution

[wrobert]

Robert, if you want people to stop thinking you are bitter and hateful you need to HUG the turtles, not EAT them.:funn::funn:

Those that really know me, ie., Shallowsnole, can attest that this is just me, not bitter or hateful, actually just a return to normal.

But it does bring up something that I do have a hard time grasping. How do we know that it is not God's plan for the turtles to go the way of the dinosaurs? If these same species concerns had been around thousands of years ago I would be dodging T-Rex on the way to work in the morning.

As for what people think, that is the least of my concerns. Someone has to stand up to the people that want to control the rest of us. Doing so does bring in an inordinate amount of criticism and attention. That, I believe is why so many say nothing on this forum.

The last time I checked, Defuniak was not within 750' of the mean high water line and so their Christmas light display will obviously not be affected.

So you are for a law that singles out a group of people based on where they live? 750' goes all the way back to Grove Ave in Seaside according to the map. Do we have this problem with turtles crossing 30-A going to the lights four blocks off the beach?

How about this, we set the zone to be from the high water line to the CCL and all parcels or buildings that a portion of touch the CCL. This would at least place these burdens on the people that are the intended targets.

More like a loser that is dripping with resentment and hate.

Sorry if I am coming off that way. Not intended.

As for the losing, of course winning would have been great. But I do not look at it really as losing. I did what I was asked to do and the task was accomplished. The disappointment comes from getting as far as I did. I was suppose to lose in the primary. That was what should have happened and that I was prepared for, not the way it worked out.

I am glad to see you back. Wish you would have won the election, but you ran an honorable race.
You are correct about people ( the silent majority) not posting here because they don't want to face the criticism of the fruits and nuts. You are also correct that someone must do it or people get the idea that that crowd IS the majority.

You know I respect everyone that put their necks out to run for public office. It is not for the faint of heart and it is much easier for many(no one specific) to armchair quarterback their thoughts rather than to put it on the line and run for office. I, for one, may not always agree with either side, but I enjoy my friendships with both Dems and Reps. I'm glad you're back Wrobert and although you and I do not always agree, we are both adult enough to not let it interfere with our ability to talk, be friends or remain civil to each other. And until that time(which will be never) that I run for a local public office, I will not dis anyone I know that does..

It's not about a majority and why does it have to be? There is enough fruit cake to go around for everyone. Some are like me and don't fit perfectly on either side. My ballot had enough zig zags to be a connect the dots. Where do all of those people fit.

what if you eventually find out that the turtles were the lynch pin for the entire biological balance of the planet? it would be a little late then.

750' may be a little exteme. many counties have adopted a 'visible from the beach' language in their ordinances.

Humans and dinosaurs never coexisted so the idea of "species concerns" wouldn't apply. Also it would have been tens of millions of years ago, not thousands. You're not suggesting that humans killed off the dinosaurs are you?

Boy do our definitions of that word differ.
