Do people really have so little regard for future generations? Do the CEOs sleep snug in their beds, knowing that their millions come at the expense of other people's hopes, dreams, and health? This is blatant disregard for the "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" of US citizens. I don't know how the planning boards of these large corporations can ignore the fact that sometime; somewhere down the road, somebody they really care about will be affected by their actions now.How will they explain away their culpability when one of their own children has their health and/or water taken away because of the poisoning of the environment due to their decisions today? Will they say, "I'm sorry that you're dying, but we HAD to get all that natural gas out of the ground right away." Do they think that countries on the other side of the planet are going to drill through the center of the Earth and somehow "steal" our gas and oil? Try a moratorium on drilling until they find a safe way to drill, people!Until they find a way to drill that doesn't kill, we've had our fill!smurfettenoreply@blogger.com
