It's repeatedly being seen in our entertainment industry with the so-called "reality" shows, and on the other side of the topic it's happening in Washington as the corporations and their trained politicians repeatedly weaken the EPA. <br /> I am fascinated with the scope of humanity's impact on the world, wondering about the end result. It's one of those topics that the mind seems to shy away from unless knowingly fictional.<br /> My sincere sadness that this is happening to your area. I hope that some constraints are somehow put on these people. <br />Hugs;<br />randyrandyhttp://wordsthateffect.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-622531281005872209.post-88263231942521192232011-10-12T14:00:25.947-04:002011-10-12T14:00:25.947-04:00Thanks for your comment and support, Scottie. The...Thanks for your comment and support, Scottie. The thing about hedge funds though, is that this is almost certainly not an isolated case, just one that has come to light. Hedge funds do not run their own operations but merely finance them. And they are certainly known for not caring too much about the safety, ethics or other social concerns relating to what they do.<br /><br />I should note that Highland claims they are trying to be responsible and limit environmental damage. However with something this big and this risky, some hazardous accident is almost inevitable. Look at the BP spill. Or Fukushima.<br /><br />I will be posting again about Foodstock and will report on the event itself.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />EvanEvanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06763033650833418237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-622531281005872209.post-28254750925708068692011-10-12T11:37:28.534-04:002011-10-12T11:37:28.534-04:00Oh Evan.

I feel like it is underhanded and a dirty trick we are playing on our good neighbor. I wonder why some people feel the need to hide, lie, cheat and steal to get what they want, even knowing it will hurt others. Their God must be money and their doctrine one of greed. <br /><br />I wish the best at stopping and containing the raping of the land, the destruction of the water supply, and all the other losses. My thoughts will be with you guys. <br /><br />Please keep me posted. Many hugs, ScottieScottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06355524255020038817noreply@blogger.com
