Relating to Hydrogen Sulfide

All of the off-island supporters of the present dewatering effort have trivialized the effects of hydrogen sulfide. Even on-island supporters of the dewatering escapades have ridiculed those claiming to have suffered ill effects from the gas. Some have even gone as far as stating publicly that those complaining of symptoms are "pulling a stunt".

Well, for those of you that have not had to live what we have had to live through, have not been at ground zero or downwind from a dewatering effort, or have been fortunate to not have had any ill effects, here is but one simple example of the effects of microscopic, barely perceptible levels of hydrogen sulfide.

We have all experienced this discomfort - an appreciably unpleasant burn from infinitesimal levels of hydrogen sulfide molecules. Can those that ridicule the over 800 people afflicted from the dewatering now appreciate what it must have been like when the levels of hydrogen sulfide were millions of time greater?

The Marco Island Blog strongly supports the cityhood of Marco Island, having its own police, fire and emergency services, its own public works, its community and park initiatives, having its own government and much much more.

This blog is an OPEN forum. Not one comment is moderated, all postings are welcomed, all submissions have been posted.

Progress and consensus are derived solely from communicating with those that don't agree with you. It comes by putting out your ideas and opinions for everyone to see and thereby making them available to be contradicted, criticized and condemned. Let the ideas and opinions pass or fail on their own merit as adjudicated by the rigors of a populace debate.

That practice is the foundation of a successful democracy. And that is the purpose of this blog.

This blog also stands for democratic, federalist and Jeffersonian principles, is against the abuse of government, and stands for the free publications of all views.

It is the duty - the obligation - of every citizen to question, inspect and critique the actions of government. Such is one of the basic tenets of a democracy.

"I am for freedom of the press, and against all violations of the Constitution to silence by force and not by reason the complaints or criticisms, just or unjust, of our citizens against the conduct of their agents." Thomas Jefferson

As we are.
