Once again, Forgive me my ignorance.

A thread on the topic:

The big issue with LOST isn't about the ocean; it's about land use control.

This global bureaucracy will justify control of land use to "protect" the marine environment. It isn't hard to see. Many oceanic species breed in estuaries within the United States. Estuarine health isn't doing very well for a number of reasons (many of which politicized science will conveniently miss). The estuaries are fed by rivers. The rivers are lined with cities.

LOST is a straitjacket fully capable of crippling this nation (which certainly affects its ability to defend itself). That the White House says it knows nothing about it belies the fact that, according to the email I get from ALRA, the White House and Chuck Hagel are the instigators in pushing this treaty through in the dark of night after the Reagan Administration had rejected it out of hand.

Thank you for clearing up this whole issue for me. I understand it better than I did.

Actually, reading that post above, you problably understand it better than seven tenths of the Senate.

I think anybody would understand it better than a politician. Isn't a politician's job not to understand anything?
