Allow me to give the government workers and the anti-boating leftists a clue on who caused it:

IT WASN'T A BOATER!

Thank God the environmental wackos have made all the waters around Anne Arundel County No Discharge Zones.  You all need your heads examined.  You waste your time and money going after recreational boaters when it is state and local governments that do most of the polluting.  

Prove me wrong. I dare you.

 From WFLA

SARASOTA, Fla. (WFLA) — 14,000 gallons of raw wastewater spilled into Sarasota Bay on Sunday at West John Ringling Causeway Park.

A pollution notice posted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection said city staff were alerted to water coming up out of the ground at around 11:21 a.m.

Massive sewer spill flowing into Potomac River upstream from Washington, DC

If only the libtards/riverwatchers/leftists would be successful in removing all boats from the water (except theirs, of course), the world would be a perfect poop-free place.  Except, of course, for that septic tank called Washington, DC (and every other major city in the world).  Get a clue water Nazis!  More "No Discharge Zones" aren't the answer.  Fix your left-tard cities and then preach to the rest of us.
