President Bush on Thursday created the world's largest marine protected area — a group of remote Hawaiian islands that cover 84 million acres and are home to 7,000 species of birds, fish and marine mammals, at least a quarter of which are unique to Hawaii.


THANKS!!!

You are welcome.... er.... ooops.

Sure hope I haven't blown my super-secret identity... Now where did I put my world domination textbook???

[fat-tony]

apparently it's gonna go under national monument status so permanent funding and can't be overturned by anyone in the future

It is about time he did something good for future generations.

If your intent is to have this thread closed by adding political comments - you're very close to your goal.

Why was this thread broken and censored? I did not get to read what people had to say about this issue. Was there foul-language or just mere opinions?

Both. People went off topic.
Apparently, it's difficult for some to stay focused.

I'm very thankful for President Bush's decision.
Thank you, Mr. President.

[chrisbenavides]

Ok....I understand now. Thank you for clarifying. ;) Thanks again W.

[Minuteman]

Think nothing of it...

[chrisbenavides]

Why think nothing of it? Thats ridicalious.

Even if you are a Michael Moore type or a liberal, its sheer nonsense to say that what Bush did is nothing. He is protecting that largest ocean sancatuay in the world by decalring it a monument. How can that be nothing if it is truly for the better of that region. Is this a no satisfying of the liberal party once again? Forget the politics of it all if you are against Bush, think of what has been done.

[Minuteman]

You're going off the deep end my friend. Look at the rest of my posts in this thread, or I shall have to issue an executive order to have you bannated... :D

[BrianD]

What he said.

[chrisbenavides]

What do they say....remember that a lot of the posts were deleted in this thread.....

[BrianD]

Let it go. No posts were deleted.

[eckrynock]

lbrty9 was taking credit for this from the beginning of the post, that's all. 'Think nothing of it' was another way of saying, 'no problem', 'you're welcome'. Easy Chris! :D

[chrisbenavides]

Oh I am sorry about that. Its just that I did not read any of the other posts. My bad. Back on issue though. ;)

[Minuteman]

OK, I will rescind my executive order and issue a new one declaring today "National Chris Benavides Day". Enjoy your day! :lol:

[chrisbenavides]

Awesome! ;)

[Minuteman]

Maybe he's saying that HE is sensitive and is concerned about what we'll all say...

[E-A-G-L-E-S]

lol

[chrisbenavides]

maybe......but doubt it. Anyone else have opinions about Bush's 75 Monument?

[E-A-G-L-E-S]

snnooorrrrrr

[hogpark7430]

It is interesting is that it was made a National Monument and is therefore in the Department of the Interior. NOAA and the National Marine Sanctuary program it administers is under the Department of Commerce. As I understand it, NOAA is charged with overseeing the new monument and enforcing the regulations. It’s interesting that they set it up that way.

[chrisbenavides]

thanks for that info ;)
