That was SL, JC, not me...but my sentiments exactly! You and HR trying common sense with simple econimics is the same as me trying common sense with the fact that nitrogen in the Gulf cannot be traced to ANY state. ( And then malboy, trying to cover their mistakes, goofs and states that there are no different elements of nitrogen; proving MY point!) Libs can't and won't see the fraud at hand with the environmentalists who need to justify their jobs!
I should just let this go but I'm going to respond anyway.
A. You don't measure the nitrogen in the gulf and try to sort out its origin. You measure it in each state before it gets to the gulf. It's a simple concept and I've pointed it out before but you are too obstinate or, dare I say it, stupid to understand it.
B. You could ignore the environmentalists and go back to Los Angeles in the '50's when people were routinely dying from the smog. And back to Pittsburgh in the '40's when people were also dying from the soot and other pollutants. And we could just dismiss it as a natural phenomena when the Cuyahoga river in Cleveland catches of fire. And a hundred more examples. But I wouldn't want to.
Ok...Mr./Dr./mallcontent...they measure it before it leaves the state. But who measures South Dakota's nitrogen when it enters our state and flows thru our rivers into Missouri and then into the Miss? Or any other state for that matter? What about Wisconsin...or Nebraska, or Illinois; like you ducked previously????? Who measures what comes from other states and PLEASE provide proof!!!!!! I am getting real tired of YOUR opinion on this matter with no scientific backup on ANY of your claims about levels and measurements! Let's see what ya got, Dr. Mally!
