Bristol Bay

This situation is such an outrage. This kind of arrogance on the part of big money permeates nearly every part of our current society. They have no interest in doing what’s best for the people of the country, the stewardship of the environment that sustains us all, or making the world a better place. It is all about acquiring personal wealth. These are the elements that erode our society and we need checks against such greed. It seems our institutions that have been set up to protect us have been adulterated by big money. I believe the divisive politics we see today are intentionally created to serve as smoke screens for the abuse of big money. Thank you Ted Williams for your enlightened investigation and reporting on this, and other issues. We can’t protect ourselves if we don’t know about the assaults.

Why not permit enough area for a small mine enough to employ a couple hundred local people so they will enjoy life like you white environmentalists?
