This is in response to the "Rant and Rave" comment directed at Adopt a Stream "greenies." Evidently, there is some misunderstanding about Adopt a Stream and the volunteers who put in many hours annually standing in frigid creeks and suffering clouds of voracious insects to help keep Georgia's water supply safe for everyone -- man and beast.
Adopt a Stream does not imply ownership of a waterway -- that's a different property lesson. We work with local and state organizations, such as the Environmental Protection Division, county and city governments, and the Savannah River Keeper to monitor waterways for pH, dissolved oxygen, nitrates, phosphates, and sediment. We monitor the health of streams by collecting and counting the tiny larvae of dragonflies, damselflies, and the like. These tests can tell us if a company is releasing hazardous chemicals into a stream, if residents are depositing animal waste into a stream, or if the water is safe for fish and humans. We conduct our monitoring with the permission (and occasionally at the behest) of the property owners who do own the monitored streams, and all data is given to the state.
So, on a summer's day, if you enjoy casting a line into the depths of a sparkling Georgia stream -- thank an Adopt a Stream volunteer.
Without our monitoring, there might not be any fish for you to catch. Sign me "proud to be a 'greenie' and an AAS volunteer."

Great work Ms. Zupan. The right-wing is committed to destroy the environment and seems to attack anyone who feels the environment is worth keeping clean.
Shivas......That is one of your typical hate filled rediculous statements. That would be similar to saying "Pro choice people are committed to killing all babies, and attacks anyone who thinks it's wrong." Pretty stupid.
That's right, shivas. I'm dreaming of the day when a toxic cloud of chlorine covers the earth, the water is fouled with VOC's, and all the plants are dead. Plus, I hate bunnies.
I appreciate your work and time Ms. Zupan. Thanks!!
I would like to point out that the person posting at 7:12 am EST is NOT me but someone using a close approximation of my name with the intent of confusing readers. The person doing this is too weak minded and too cowardly to post his thoughts using his own name or his own screen name. I commend the letter writer and shivas for his support of Michelle Zupan's efforts in the Adopt a Stream program.
'I would like to point out that the people posting in these are smarter than Cain thinks they are-smarter than Cain, in fact-, know that some other poster is yanking Cain's chain, think it's pretty funny, and in fact don't give a rat's behind if a witty and creative poster wants to play around with Cain's oh-so-unique style of debate.'
Whenever I have my oil changed I pay my mechanic an extra ten bucks to give me the old oil. I tell him i need to grease things at home. But really I take it and dump it into the creek that is about a mile from my house.
I would like to point out that the person supporting the person using a similar name as Cain, IS A HYPOCRITE.
HYPOCRITE, if someone here wants to post as johnsmythe, I say go for it...anyone who can't figure out who is who by actually looking at the name and looking at the style/content of the post, is either just passing through, or is not bright enough to have a meaningful opinion. I'm not "supporting" anybody...I'm making fun of Cain and his ponderous pronouncements, that clearly originate in the belief that Western Civilization might fall if someone thought that Randalph and Randolph were the same person...what a maroon...
I would like to point out that Cain is a crybaby. When SNL parodies the president, does he feel the need to make a press statement that it was not actually him making the statement. Anyone with a brain knows the difference, but Original recipe Cain is too much of a baby to take being made fun of....even though it's sooooooo easy. His only defense it to attack the intelligence of someone he doesn't even know.
johnsmith,jonrhc....why don't the two of you realize that your so called attempts at parody are,and have been old hat for quite some time now.it's been done ad nauseum.
sad to say,there are people out there ,who in their adolescent intelligence (much like yours)may actually think that is the real poster....and i don't think cain is expecting a meltdown of the western world over this, but i do beleive he feels like i do ...enough is enough .
you boys go out and play until you have something constructive to add.....or go to timeout.
Why not destroy the environment? For thousands of years mother nature has plagued mankind with hurricanes,earthquakes,tornadoes,and all sorts of other natural disasters and now she wants to cry foul when she's losing!!?? I say we finish the job. (grabs pitch-fork) NOW WHO'S WITH ME??!!
Mrs Genevive Bait, AWESOME post. I almost actualy fell out of my chair laughing.
This isn't a forum to make fun and take personal stabs. It's meant for intelligent (or semi-intelligent) discussions about certain issues.
Oh no....are you gonna tell my mom about this ?
PLAYLIKETHUNDER2, when are YOU going to realize that Cain hasn't said anything original in over 2 years! He keeps repeating the same tired old stuff in an attempt to get people to believe it. "Republic War party!", "War Criminals" etc.....same old accusations, with no evidence. Then when you make fun of him, or point out how stupid his POV can be, his only recourse is to insult your intelligence...which he knows nothing about. All he knows is that he hates George Bush, and he hates my sense of humor.
playlike, I'm not sure what reality you inhabit, but I haven't parodied anyone's name or done anything of the sort. Just 100% pure, unadulterated, johnsmith here. Why would I resort to using a fake name to respond to Cain? He doesn't read what I write in any case...
He_Who, I'm with you! I'm gonna start by flooding my yard :::turns spigot on hose::: Give it a while....give it a while...
I've been spraying an aerosol can outside for the last hour.....every little bit helps.
Shivas, you DO know that Bill O'Reily is PRO ENVIRONMENT, right? How does that square with you posts?
I was just a boy when the greenies came to my town in their hybrid cars....they said they were there to make the world a better place. They took dad's tractor because they said it used fossil fuels. They killed my dog Rex because they said the methane gas from his waste was killing the O-zone. And Mom...she just went crazy when they ruined her garden....they said the pesticides she used were killing some beetle. Now she just sits and stares at the place where her blue ribbon roses used to grow. As hey got ready to leave our town I asked them....why did you do all this....they answered "for the environment you little Eichman". I swore on that day..that I would do everything in my power TO DESTROY THE ENVIRONMENT!!!! Now I drive an SUV,never recycle,take other recycling bins and empty them into regular trash cans....and yes...I even pee in the ocean. Evil am I.....maybe...but I got my reasons.
Holy Shamoly
3 days ago I was driving slightly over the speed limit when a Prius nearly blew my doors off passing me. I wish I could have talked with him, because I know a much more inexpensive way for him to save on gas.
Shivas, long week? Are you menally tired? Your 6:50 AM comment has to be the dumbest comment you have ever posted. Mrs. Bait and He Who, don't make me laugh anymore. I have a terrible cough. No wait. I can handle it.
Don't worry Bizzaro Cain. Some, but not all of the so called "greenies" are also some of the biggest hypocrites around. Buy a prius then drive like a bat out of hell....... preach about man made global warming, then fly about the country in a private jet and live in a fuel oil guzzling mansion. It's par for the course. By the way, KSL.....don't I know you? You used to have a different name here didn't you?
Yes I did. You sort of know me.
kpc, I guess I'm a "hypocrite" because I try to recycle aluminum cans, but I dont recycle all of them, right? Per your standard, if you arent 100% then you dont have the right to call yourself an environmentalist.
Any fool that thinks buying a Prius but then driving fast makes one a hypocrite should think twice about speaking or posting in public again.
arcdog, I think you missed my point. Most people buy a prius so they can save gas....correct? If they truly want to save gas, then they should try driving the speed limit.....correct. Or maybe they bought the prius so they could continue to drive fast while using less gas than they used to......so i guess you are right. But to a certain extent it does make one a hypocrite...so I guess I'm just a fool.
Per Shivas's standard, if you aren't marching in the environmentalists parades, then you must want to destroy the environment. There are many extremes here. You don't have to be all the way on either end. I would venture to say that most people are somewhere in the middle.
