First Mountaintop Removal, and now THIS:

I was going to say, "Gee, West Virginians, how's that Laissez Faire, 'Free Market,' raw, unregulated Capitalism (Dare I say 'Libertarianism?') working out for you? Now that we've discovered how 'Freedom Industries'' tanks full of 4-methylcyclohexanemethanol (crude MCHM), which leaked (are leaking?) toxins into the Elk and Kanawa Rivers hadn't been inspected since 1991?!?" Well now, only 300,000 W. Virginians have had to line up to obtain potable water for what, four days running? And the spokesman for the company was getting fatigued having to answer so many of the media's questions, while Metro Charleston residents are obviously nearing their wits' end. But some positive signs are emerging at last, as this DemocracyNow! report indicates. Maybe West Virginians will finally stop voting Republican in every presidential election. Not that "Democrats" are much better, but still. Of course, this critique of mine applies to most Americans as well, and most of Humanity too. http://www.democracynow.org/2014/1/14/erin_brockovich_after_chemical_spill_west
