The city of Flint, Michigan, is in deep trouble over its
water system. It was getting its water
supply from Lake Eerie, but decided that taking water from the local river
would save money. Then, residents
started becoming ill and it was discovered there was lead in the water. It has just become public knowledge that the
E.P.A. knew of the existence of lead in the water and did nothing to stop
it.
COMMENTS:
The river water should have been tested for the presence of
lead, arsenic and other dangerous contaminants before the switch was made. The E.P.A. says it became aware of the
problem and tried to work “behind the scenes” to correct it, deciding not to make
it public. Did they think the lead was
going to disappear? If the city was
going to remove the lead, it would cost lots of money to install such filters
and the citizens would have eventually had to be made aware of the whys. Here they are, running around trying to
regulate the world, and they don’t want to tell the public about the lead in
Flint’s drinking system? Heads should
roll over this, the E.P.A. should be sued for medical expenses and any deaths
involved, and the Mayor and City Council should serve time in jail and be made
to drink river water until they die.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Do you thank our taxpayer money should be going to fund
abortions? (Abigail ~ Helena, MT)
A. Absolutely not.
This is not about abortion rights, but about whether or not the taxpayer
should be involved in funding costs for people who don’t have to be in the
predicament they are in. In other words,
one doesn’t have to get pregnant. If we
are going to fund abortions, we should be funding smoking cessation programs as
well. But taxes are paying for some 24%
of abortions in this country, and that’s an outrage... something that Obama
swore up and down would not happen on his watch.
Q. Has anyone decided what to do with all of the nuclear
waste we are accumulating? (Benny ~
Portland, OR)
A. Not yet. Yucca
Mountain in Nevada was approved for the project, but Harry Reid managed to get
it defunded. The area we are talking
about is already contaminated from years of nuclear testing and would therefore
be an ideal location. Now, I think Harry
is planning on burying the infamous Bundy family there.
Q. Do you think Martin Luther King Jr. would be pleased with
the status quo of American Blacks?
(Twyla ~ Baltimore, MD)
A. I think he would be greatly dismayed to see that our
country’s first Black president has done more to divide the country along
racial lines than anyone since Jefferson Davis.
Oh… I forgot; Jefferson Davis never existed; all of his statues have
been removed.
