Welcome back, Jaque.

I have been digesting what was said between Carol, MAV, and Ebbie above. While it is all accurate and necessary I'm not sure Ebbie and Mav realize that Mav lives in an area where he can do all the things he talks about. He has access to a relatively clean environment. I believe Carol lives in a small town but in the heart of coal mining country. I'm not sure where Ebbie lives.

My point is that the problem is not solved by an individual figuring out how to clean up his or her own water. We have to recognize that the days of solving the problem of pollution by dumping the waste into the environment is over. It is time to clean up, time to take responsibility for our mess, and time to ensure that our children and grandchildren can actually exist in the world we leave them.

The world looks to the greatest nation to lead them and the nation looks to its president. And he is falling flat on his face worshipping at the altar of the almighty dollar and ignoring what the rest of us need.
