[Link] I say let 'em rot. There's better uses for that money than protecting the stupid from themselves.
The EPA has been cleaning up for twenty years and now wants to expand the cleanup for ninety more years? Yeah, I can understand why some would be against the expansion.
You can? I didn't think it was possible to understand how people would want arsenic and/or lead poisoning.
Impossible to understand how some may consider this little more than a sales pitch? For goodness sake the EPA is talking about a ninety year extension. If nothing else, it is not a choice between siding with the EPA and wanting arsenic and/or lead poisoning.
Not that I like seeing government getting their greedy talons into more than they already do, but reading this... ...makes me think they got bigger issues driving away business than government stepping in to clean up pollution. Like lead poisoning.
I have no idea wtf Clyde is going on about. Cleaning up rivers ain't exactly a walk in the park. It takes a damn long time to get heavy metals out of the environment. What's happening here is that people are too stupid to understand that there's no magic cure for lead and arsenic. Either live with it and get poisoned, or let them clean it up.
I'm from about 70 miles west of Kellogg, and all the mining pollution and damming has killed all the fish(except bottom feeders and nasty Trout) in the river that flows through town. The only people who fish it are russkies, and you get swimmers itch everytime you swim in it. Thanks, Idaho! Who cares about Kellogg, apparently they'll all be dead soon.
Fuck Kellogg and all of North Idaho (and South Idaho for that matter). The place is a fucking cesspool and humanity will be better off when they've all succumbed to silver poisoning.
Sounds to me like the Bunker Hill Mining Company should be on the hook for this cleanup, not taxpayers from Michigan and California. Funny, I also can't find anything in the Constitution enumerating to the FedGov the power or responsibility for cleaning up pollution sites in individual states. Seems like that ought to be a state government deal to me. Oh, and Chris, a union autoworker from Michigan calling people from my state 'too stupid to live' really makes you sound like lame troll. How's the 'Pure Michigan' campaign going?
That's okay, a lot of the time I don't know what the fuck I'm going on about either. According to the EPA it takes 110 years, now that is a damn long time. You're certainly entitled to your opinion, here is an opinion from some of the folks living in Silver Valley: And they are allowed a voice in their own community. Just the two options eh? [Vader]I find your unquestioning faith in the EPA disturbing.[/Vader] Ever Google EPA failures? Anyway, I imagine the EPA will get their way, and in 90 years we'll see if the EPA was right, wrong, or if they'll need another 110 years.
