Heard of Walkerton, Ontario?

Cow/Bull ---- polluted local drinking water and killed a dozen ppl and 600
or so got sick.
Granted, the guys looking after the water system were negligent....but
nonetheless, cows shitting in streams EN MASSE is NOT good for the
environment.

That much ---- in the water can wreck the streams breading habitat for a
season. Ok...only one season, but they cross it every year. So they're now
up there as far as pollutant contributors killing the environment.

Both sides are guilty to a degree....but lets be sure that if we're putting
restrictions on the side that doesn't offer up mass profits, then we should
put restrictions on the ones that are $$-makers.

I think we are talking about reasonable uses. I doubt anyone here drives up
and down streams for the hell of it, or plans to change the tranny fluid in
the middle of the river. This may be a collection of only one sides point
of view, but it's not one that usually gets seen. I love the outdoors, and
I also love to take the Jeep out and enjoy it. I spend just as much time on
hiking trips as I do taking the Jeep out, but if that makes me a bad person,
so be it. I also hunt though, so I'm probably going to hell anyways.
