Obviously, it’s not the science. Please! I understand that. It’s the appearance that is the problem. Think about what this says to people that use that water. It has nothing to do with urine in the water. Giveme a little credit. What is the appearance to anyone involved in this situation? Geesh!

Sorry about that. But truth is people fish on boats all day long on lakes and urine goes over the side usually by the beer to time fishing ratio LOL.

On the other end of that spectrum I got a royal chewing out from a game warden for cleaning fish in a river and leaving the guts there in the water. He told me I was polluting the stream. I said no I'm putting nutrition back into the river which will feed fish and wildlife and not wasting any portion of the fish in doing so all goes to a useful purpose. He calmed down and in a quieter voice said I know too that but people call in complaining saying it's polluting.

The same mentality that freak over a person whizzing into a nearly three quarter billion lake complain about fish guts in a river which within a few hours would have been ingested into the grand circle of life and nature.

Our nation has substituted common sense for media sensationalism and sad to say a lack of education as to how nature and mans technology work. The mindset making a media issue about this man would sent their kids to a public pool and never thing twice.

I know better than to drink from a creek or unknown untreated sources. I will drink untreated water straight from springs only where I am at the head of it where it comes from the ground and I have reasonable knowledge of what lies above stream. City folk calling themselves environmentalist just don't understand them things LOL.

You know, I have two places. One is on Lake Superior and the other one is a cabin on an inland Lake in Minnesota that is actually a reservoir. It's about five mile wide by 25 miles in length with water from a river flowing in one end and out the other over a dam.

I regularly wash up in the either place (Summer, of course, after a run) with shampoo and soap. No one comments about Lake Superior because ... No one sees me, I'm in the woods.

But apparently a pharmacist, no less, found out about this on the reservoir with flowing water and said something to someone.

I explained to the lady (who should have known better) about the concept of the volume of distribution. She apologized, I don't think because of any understanding but rather because she worked for me and had to fill my prescriptions.

Again, my point had nothing to do with science and everything to do with appearances.

Sorry if there was a misunderstanding.
