THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY POINT!!! Even now when the environmentalists
are trying to get everyone to recycle we're dumping tanks into the
ocean to make reefs!!!!! Why does that NOT make sense to me? Wouldn't
it make more sense to recycle them for their steel content? How much
energy was expended to make it the first time and that's all wasted now
because it'll rot away on the sea floor.

Too stupid to realise what they're trying to do to me,..............I
mean FOR me.
