West Virginia needs you!!!! The president of the company that polluted the water for more than 300,000 residents, a company that has now declared bankruptcy, is also the owner of a newly established firm that will provide financial backing for the newly bankrupt one????? Are you freaking kidding?
And yes...there is always a tune.....
Poison in the Well, 10,000 Maniacs, Natalie Merchant
"Tell me, what's gone wrong. I tilt my head there, under the faucet, but
when I turn it on -- dry as paper. Call the neighbors. Who's to blame
for what's going on? In the dark without a clue I'm just the same as
you.
O, they tell us there's poison in the well, that someone's
been a bit untidy and there's been a small spill. Not a lot. No, just a
drop. There you are mistaken, you know you are. I wonder just how
long they knew our well was poisoned but they let us just drink on.
O, they tell us there's poison in the well, that someone's
been a bit untidy that there's been a small spill. All that it amounts to
is a tear in a salted sea. That someone's been a bit untidy, they'll have it
cleaned up in a week.
But the week is over, now it's growing into
years since I was told that I should be calm, there's nothing to fear
here. But I drank that water for years, my wife and my children!
Tell me. Where to now? If your fight for a bearable life can
be fought and lost in your backyard? O, don't tell us there's poison in
the well, that someone's been a bit untidy, that there's been a small
spill. And all that it amounts to is a tear in a salted sea. That someone's been a
bit untidy, they'll have it cleaned up in a week."
Corporate America...just privatize it! They'll always do the right thing? Yes? - c
