I wonder why so many people jump up and down, scream, and throw temper tantrums about government power but look the other way when it comes to abusive corporate power. Whose pockets are they really in? Whose interests are they really looking after? no florida natives, that's for sure.
Seems kind of strange - seems like to me that they would be against any and all kinds of abuse of power. But they aren't, they willingly carry water for big corporate interests who kill us little guys. I will not support any candidate in Florida who was not born here, who did not grow up here, who loves power over the interest of Florida natives. We are overrun, overdeveloped. I own a riverfront home, it's paid off, and now we have a green algae bloom killing fish all over the river. This is directly related to fertilizer run off. Who is doing it? Idiots who were not born here and who refuses to understand that too much fertilizer kills the river. they refuse to listen becuase people on talk radio have for 30 years called us "environmentalist wackos." Do they change? No, They keep putting it on because they care about the sod they bought and not about the river - not even considering that a dead river also kills their property values. And, their failure to do anything means that other peoples' property values will suffer. Which brings up zoning - without zoning, someone could buy property next to mine. Using the argument that they should have the right to do whatever they want on their private property, what if they want to process some chemicals? And what if it spills over on to my property? And what if it spills into the river and affects hundreds of other property owners? I don't want their money. I want my investment protected and sometimes zoning is the only way to protect me from my neighbors. I have a natural yard that does not need fertilizer. Our garden is in the best, untouched, natural soil around and we are having a bumper crop this year as well as all years in the past. We rotate crops and compost. As a fifth generation native of Florida, I will support Florida candidates who will stand up for our rights as property owners. Like I said, in Florida, a sick environment leads to sick property values.
