Originally posted by mrsleeve View PostI can still tell when people are being unreasonable idiots, I still believe in property rights, and personal responsibility. If they wanted a say in where when and how this thing was going to be built the time was 2 years ago while in the planning stages, when its brought to the couminites attention that the project purposed. There are public comment periods and so on. NOT AFTER permits are granted and construction is nearing completion.past:

You know dam well I have a great deal of respect for you, I know we have our go arounds, but 1st round of drinks is on me. One other little thing while your up there try and talk to some of the hands building the thing, not just the encampment of idiot's.
Again I respect your willingness to take the action a great deal I just urge you to keep an open mind, and try to see it as it is. Oh and there is nothing easy about a 5k foot plus long directional drill, there could be other geological factors that are dictating why the crossing point needs to be where it is.Originally posted by FusionIf a car is the epitome of freedom, than an electric car is house arrest with your wife titty fucking your next door neighbor.

as an engineer, i understand that it's not as easy/simple as "oh just build it over there instead".
i get that it's really goddamned inconvenient to have a requirement change like this come through at the last minute- i have software developers do that to me usually about once a week.
but as engineers, this is our job. solve hard problems, the right way.past:

we're mostly handled on riot gear (that was some fucking fun amazon shopping/personal network reach-out) but could still use a couple of cold-weather/operational items.
should any of the weirdos who frequent r3v p&r choose to donate- amazon wish list is here. a lot of the stuff that's left is for setting our car up as a coffee point; that's what the jerry cans, inverter, and coffee maker and beans are for. if you can't keep people happy, at least keep them awake and warm.
this shit's fucked up- this tribe of native americans have had their treaties violated for more than a century- and a lot of veterans, including myself, the army master sergeant from my unit who was in vietnam, and desert storm, and stayed in the rear with the gear during my deploy, *and* an elected representative who also happens to be a veteran, are involved.
so- we'll see how this goes. my squad are definitely not the only troops showing up.past:

So decay, just exactly why are you doing this?
What I don't get is we are supposed to be a country of laws, no?
It looks to me that the law was followed here on placing the pipeline where it goes.
There were no secret meetings etc., EPA rules were followed (a hostile EPA btw)
So what are you protesting?“There is nothing government can give you that it hasn’t taken from you in the first place”

With as small a niche as us pipeliners are as a group across the all the trades ( there are on a couple thousand guys that do what I do), and such a small car forum, suprised there us any one directly involved with pipeline construction at all on here.
