The Root Cause

EPA is not the fellow Who made the Animus yellow All that toxic waste For mine profits has laced Our bed which becomes a bordello* Author's note: Please check out what happened to the Animus River in Colorado. The first part of the story is that the EPA and its contractors made an error, and a torrent of arsenic, cadmium and lead in millions of gallons of waste water from a closed mine flowed into the river (8/5/15). However, who put all that stuff there in the first place and never cleaned it up? It was a mining company. They extracted gold and ran off with the profits while leaving us with the cleaning bill. These are the "externals". The items corporations would rather not have on the balance sheet. And now, our river "bed" is all laced for us and we are being.... ....* screwed (I would be more blunt but certain curse words are not allowed here). This happens all the time. Also, if any of this bothers you, check out Bernie Sanders on youtube. I came up with a great campaign slogan: Bernie Sanders doesn't BS you.
