"Cranston, it's considered simple courtesy to provide a link to whatever information you wish to discuss. It also helps ensure that everyone is discussing the same text. "

Discussing the same text?
You mean you don't take the information you are provided and work from that? You have to have a link back to some previous item?

Where does it end?

More accurately - where did it begin?
Give me an example of this courtesy - where did it begin?

When writing scientific or technical papers it might be necessary to provide reference points but the items I have provided are derived from my consideration of a vast array of resources. If I were to give you all the reference points I have that aided me in coming to my conclusions then where would you begin?

Are you asking me to tell you what to read and what conclusions to draw from it?

Let's see if you can keep up :

Someone started with epa.gov - go there and look up 'Great Lakes' and 'Pollution'.

Also - review all materials that are connected with things known as High Pressure Injection Toxic Waste Wells.

You will also want to review geology texts and become acquainted with ground water flow and the structure of the lands surrounding the Great Lakes specifically those (for this 'discussion') that have to do with Lake Erie.

You can find several of these reference materials at your local library or you can use lycos.com, yahoo.com, excite.com, google.com or other search engines like ARCHIE.

Let's see - you can also run queries on the topic in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, Reuters and UPI.

After you have collected all this information, then sift through it, read, consider it and regurgitate. Then write something about it. Then attend a meeting about. Discuss it with your friends, associates and family.

Then write something else about it that encapsulates information you think would be useful to your fellow citizens and humans.

That's what I did.
That's your 'link'. It's in my head and if you don't agree with what I am writing you don't have to interact with me.

As an administrator you can censor what is written here and I can't stop you. I don't want to stop you. I would like to be left alone like the others that post but because I think and most likely because I don't think like you or express myself in a way that you approve of you attack me, ask me for 'links' as if there is one single source.

If you don't believe what I am writing that's okay.
There is nothing in what I have written which is plagiarized and I attempt at all times to present novel and unique ideas about current situations. I don't care what others think about this situation. I care what I think about it and I shared my thoughts.

What else do you want?

If you want to interact with me you will have to work really hard.
