Oh, I misunderstood. I didn't realize you were already voting for candidates that want tougher environmental regulations. What's your opinion of Lamar's record on the environment?

As far as I know he allows local land trusts to protect the environment which can be like leaving the door open to the chicken house. He is for the pipeline. I know he has done a great deal towards protecting the national park system in TN. I am more concerned about our lakes. I live on Old Hickory Lake which is pretty environmentally safe...however the number of lakes in East TN that have warnings concerning the eating of fish is a growing concern...there are about 8 lakes and streams in that area where you aren't even allowed to have contact with water because of contaminants. Now this is a state issue but it is in Lamar's part of the country so maybe he should do more. Our waters in Middle Tennessee are safe...in West Tennessee it might be lethal to even get a drop of water on your skin from the rivers in that part of the state.
Why do you trust the group that allowed this to happen to clean it up? Why shouldn't the Feds sue Tennessee for failing its citizens? Wouldn't that be a just and proper thing to do in order to safeguard your rights?
Yes it would...the lake I live on is Corp operated...a small portion of my land including my boat dock is federally owned...not sure if the contaminated land is commercial or public.
Kind of you to afford him that right.
You have some strange misunderstandings of our world.
So do you I am sure...but like any intelligent, tolerant person I am willing to overlook it and not judge you...
This. Starting threads saying women with hyphenated last names are scum of the earth doesn't strike me as tolerant.
Respecting the other fella's viewpoint...even when you don't exactly agree with it...or accept it. Pretty simple stuff...
Ok, so what does "respecting the other fella's viewpoint" entail? Listening to it? Responding appropriately to it? Not questioning it? Not calling it out for it's incorrectness?
Your first issue seems to be that you think everything is a "viewpoint." Is the existence of gravity a viewpoint?
It's like, just a theory dude.
Point taken, I'll modify: Is the existence of Penises a viewpoint? Say, someone was walking around telling people/you that there is no such thing as penises, it was just propaganda from the Bilderbergs. What must you do, in your opinion OP, to be "tolerant."
I made up that moniker a year or 2 ago as a gentle jest. I'd be happy for others to use it - and some have. But there's no requirement.
The Earth can survive insults that our civilization - and possibly our species - won't. Acting like the Earth's survival is the issue makes it hard to take your views seriously.
What we know from a multitude of studies is that many of the carbon sinks the Earth uses to maintain a CO2 balance that's healthy for the myriad interdependent species on our planet are saturating and failing. Some are even giving up CO2 as the ground warms or forests are cleared.
Ocean acidity levels are rising with a speed that puts the ability of many species to adapt in serious doubt.
Vast reserves of methane are being released and likely to accelerate. And the richest, most powerful nations on Earth are actually insisting that they must drill more, frack more, mine more - even using procedures that create additional threats and generate even more pollution.
Anyone who isn't on board with this being real, dangerous, and in need of aggressive attention is not only dangerously ignorant but part of the problem.
