body was, as you mentioned the Navajo Tribe. The tribal government wasn't as interested in safety and cleanliness as most government or other
controlling entities, the dollar was king. There was (is) a good deal of corruption in the tribal government and as a result the Aneth field was a
dirty, polluted, unsafe place where we didn't particularly like to work, besides, the gnats were oppressive. They were referred to as "no seeums" but
they were so big that you could seeum .

....so your company knew that enforcement of laws wouldn't be an issue,,,took advantage of it!!?....I can picture those frackers in mexico doing the
same thing....that attitude,,on any scale is something that is well beyond what we can afford.
...in a world where population and consumption graphs are on an exponential -explosion-,,,it's time that we realize that it DOES matter what we do
when 'nobody's looking'.......the retort of 'how you going to consume the same' is nothing but sadly laughable....we simply cannot continue as we
were...period.
...have at it |
