Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody: 'The Public Sucks. F*ck Hope.” -George CarlinAdamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051255914419363819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681493665397789843.post-25944261791664376512016-01-26T20:06:12.657-05:002016-01-26T20:06:12.657-05:00It amazes me that it never ends.It amazes me that it never ends.Sandra Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814573408898140885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681493665397789843.post-28066002522744958742016-01-26T19:02:09.793-05:002016-01-26T19:02:09.793-05:00Isn't that the truth?

The city school district needed to obtain land to build more schools. It acquired a tract from a chemical company and built schools on it, ignoring warnings from the company that the land was not safe for development because there were drums of toxic waste buried in it. Many of the drums were exposed, ruptured and leaked their toxic contents. In the years that followed many children and adults became ill and the community experienced an abnormally high rate of birth defects, miscarriages and mental retardation. Nobody did anything about it for 25 years. Finally, in 1978, a federal state of emergency was declared by President Carter.

Shady mentioned the Love Canal and that I remember quite well. Everything became so contaminated due to illegal dumping that most of the residents had to leave their homes and ,I believe, it is still a ghost town. This happened in the late 70's so I am not surprised by Flint because if there is a way to make more money, the government will as well as all the big boys who line their pocketsBirgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681493665397789843.post-87961050395224060242016-01-26T15:05:33.464-05:002016-01-26T15:05:33.464-05:00Hi Shady,

The Flint elected officials sound guilty of the decision, but despite a voter rejection of appointed 'managers' superseding elected officials, the state congress decided to supersede the voter's decision. A manger made this decision. DEQ didn't do it's job. Everyone covered up or dismissed the complaints of Flint's citizens and the doctors in the area. This is a huge mess. A governor appointed manager is in charge of the Detroit's schools, too. I guess the message is for voters to be more aware of just who they are electing.Rhobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627825512017360508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681493665397789843.post-53066507870801331342016-01-26T10:57:28.776-05:002016-01-26T10:57:28.776-05:00I don't get it.
