A serious problem has arisen along the main stem Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest. Due to the dumping of effluent discharge into the river by industrial entities, kayakers have not been reproducing at their normal rate. If the current state of diminished reproductive rates persists, kayakers will eventually go extinct. You can help by contacting the EPA directly and demanding an investigation. Television news crews could also expose this deplorable situation. Working together, we can reverse this tragic trend, and once again have healthy vibrant populations of paddlers on the water.

Either way, I'd be happy to come on up from Southern Cal to help rectify the problem; my boys swim just fine! No sense dealing with all that government red tape.
