Fair enough.... I guess.

Comparing swimming with having to tolerate the burning of toxic materials is a little off base in my opinion but it sheds light on the mentality towards the subject. I find it interesting how many will chime in on the watercraft and noise on the lake but the lack of reponse on this topic based on the aforementioned topics is kind of surprising to me.

I hope y'all don't ever burn styrofoam. Especially in the volume he did that day... if you do, you will quickly understand where I am coming from. Whether you are aware of it's properties and effect on pollution your common sense will tell you that there is something wrong the minute it hits your nostrils.

I remember when I ran a Chevron for years and had to warn people not too let their children who's height put them right at gas cap level, not to let their kids breath much of that vapor as it is known to cause cancer. One woman's response: "But he loves the smell!"

Breath deep, little Johnny. Breath deep.
