Facebook got Betty White a spot on Saturday Night Live, maybe Facebook will bring our society to the strength it needs to fight the new threats we face as a nation. Facebook is a collective consciousness. We need to hear more voices about how to face the future. Party lines are old hat, lobbying efforts by the oil companies, show you now, that even though we had laws to prevent damage in spills, the laws were not enforced. How ridiculous, the EPA, worries about hay bales, to prevent 1 inch of run off in a 50 year storm, into a wetland (which occurs in nature, anyway) while the protective measures for oil rigs are ignored! A perfect example of how government fails us.
Recently, someone died in a road accident, right at a spot, where run off from a property has made a hugh gouge in the earth leading into the street. All during freezing weather, there is an ice pocket on the road at this spot, and no one does anything about it. The police obviously did not even bother to notice that the property owner is creating a hazardous situation on the street, even with the death of a driver, on this night with freezing temperatures. Where is the conscience of the homeowner, who continues to do nothing about it? Where is the family of this young man? Did they come and see the spot where he died, and ask questions about the run off. The evidence is damning.
During the last administration a law requiring unions to disclose their finances, etc., was put on the books. Why not? All tax free organizations have to report their finances. Well, within 8-12 weeks of the new administration taking office, the law was conveniently removed. Interesting, isn't it? How long will we continue to be sheep?
