One of those D-9's can rearrange your world before you know it. Guess it all
depends on what sort of world you want.

I personally think that Baja need all the boat harbors they can get. and if these guys are operating there bulldozers within the law of Mexico what
right dose some radical bunch of collage dropouts have to go in and disrupt them? I hope the see the full strength of the Mexican legal system come
down on them.
if they don't like some project why don't the protest it and try to do something while it is in the planing stages> why do they wait and take it
out on the contractors who are only doing there job and have no power to scrap the project anyway?

Green Pieces
A week or so ago, there was conversation on the Marine Band regarding a large white (Cruiseship ?) that was just offshore around KM 34. It apparently
turned out to be a Greenpeace vessel since it had a large "Rainbow" on the side. No idea what they were up to. It doesn't appear any marinas are in
progress in our area of the Gulf. I'm sure they've found something to meddle in, though.
Reminds me of a somewhat humorous event involving Greenpeace a few years back when my Navy son was in San Francisco aboard ship for "Fleet Week". A
couple of GP Nimrods attached themselves to the anchor chain of one of the Naval Ships so the Captain ordered some additional chain payed out,
dropping them into COLD San Francisco Bay. Lesson learned, no harm done. Priceless.

Saltwater will do a number on the dozers and the rest is left up to the tide. Have been a victim of development. Guess they said the same thing about the buffalo. Maybe I'm a buffalo.?

Bruce, Don't know anything about the specific project, but I do know it's not wise to unleash a bunch of D-9's in your neighborhood.

I think it could be good or bad I sure would not mind if they built a nice new marina in my back yard and they could use D10 or 11 if they wanted to.
I would just store the dishes on the flower for a while it would not take long with that kind of equipment.

It makes me sick to think about having to "risk" myself as a college dropout to try and help save our planet...of course college is so cheap to attend
these days....I guess I get sick because I am too old to be that passionate about wanting to change what the future holds for my grandchildren as a
result being part of what wrecked it. There are so many projects or species to try and save I cannot believe they would waste their precious time on
a few dozers.....we need MORE boat harbors? we need MORE MORE MORE .........I wish I could do something to help save the Baja Coastline as drastic
because that is the reason I moved here.......we need NOTHING but to clean up, finish up, and create an envionment that is as it should be, help with
obvious issues, living conditions.....you know what I mean......I have a picture of myself (and ex) standing on the cliff between cabo and san jose in
January 82.....it is not even there anymore.....yeah we need more places to drink EAT and be merry.....more is better right?

"I wish I could do something to help save the Baja Coastline as drastic because that is the reason I moved here......."
Every person that comes to a place makes that place change -- Then we want to keep any more changes from happening.
I wish the town I grew up in still only had about 1200 people, a movie theater and soda fountain. But it too has changed--

I know I am being ridiculous in not wanting to change, because change is needed.....I mean messing up the coastline and doing harm to the
Ecosystem....Hey...I left Las Vegas with a 350,000 population and even the small town I spent almost 25 yrs. has many, many changes.....again a
coastline....but....the coastal enviornment was of great importance. There is plenty of room for growth that does not have to involve so much of
nature....it has taken many years to have it where it is now and it would be nice to keep it that way........wishful thinking on my part.

Kelly--I'm sympathetic to your ideals but I think the wisest course would be to simply buy as much coastline as you can where its still cheap in Baja
and preserve it that way. Its often too hard and expensive to stop progress near the big cities.
I remember a man named James Dilley who led a movement to buy the land surrounding Laguna Beach, CA for preservation back in the 1970s...wise
man--nobody could come close to affording it now except developers.

I think the best thing anyone could do to help the planet is to control population growth. The largest growth is among the poorest people who in turn
are starving.
