[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1784016, member: 12508"] Another conveniently forgotten fact. The mining industry, and many others, basically had [I]carte blanche [/I]rights until the environmental concern and subsequent laws began in the 1960s. The EPA was trying to clean this site up (at taxpayer expense, of course), and there was an accident. Someone made a mistake and breached a dam containing the toxic liquid. Not intentional harm, but well-intentioned in terms of purpose. Baba objects to anything government-run, even if it's a good thing. What we have here is a private company that extracted all the wealth, made a huge mess, and then fled with the profits, leaving the taxpayer to pay the bill to correct the problems. [/QUOTE]
