Harrier is glad that you share his position on the extent of environmental legislation.
Whatever, hate how it got there. Either way, you're wrong. I haven't heard any libs speak out against it.

I'm guessing we share a lot of positions, to be honest. Even though I think you like to believe that liberals all march shoulder shoulder, and are polar opposites in every way to conservatives, even in everyday life.

Water is a huge issue out here - see the movie Chinatown(1974).

Water is not an issue here. In fact it could be the next boom given that all of the Great Lakes states and Canada signed a pact to not pipe water from the watershed to the southwestern states.

I was OK with 2003. 1997, eh..... not so much. Nevertheless, that year was a fun ride, and a great distraction as we were into our second year and Fall without the Browns.

The Marlins had a lot of fans in the world series going against the Yankees. If I remember correctly there were five players in the Yankees line up who made more money that the entire Marlins roster put together.

That solves that one.

Me personally, as much as I detest Miami for the reasons you describe, historically as a Lakers fan, I despise the Spurs more. I'm rooting for Miami.

We are?
