Only 14 people admitted to the hospital so far? I thought this was going to be a much bigger deal. Or is this something that we will be reading about in 25 years when people start getting cancer.(I was going to say 5 years and birth defects but I remembered that we were talking about WV and there would be no way to distinguish between the effects of water contamination and all of the inbreeding that naturally occurs.)

Let's see here, Intentional (al-quida), Accidental (chem spill). That's an excellent comparison Cigar, not !! Geebus !!

Water-Poisoning Freedom Industries Had "Freedom" from EPA Regulations
Freedom Industries, the company that freely and negligently poisoned the water supply in nine West Virginia counties with a chemical used in the coal industry, seems to be enjoying a lot of freedom from EPA regulations. According to the New York Times, the company is exempt from Environmental Protection Agency rules because it stores chemicals, rather than produces them.

The tank, which leaked over 7,500 gallons of 4-Methylcyclohexane Methanol (2,500 more than previously estimated) into West Virginia’s Elk River, had reportedly been leaking for an extended period of time. MCHM is not lethal unless ingested in large quantities, but can cause non-stop vomiting, burning throat, blisters, and other “poor people problems.” CEO Dennis P. Farrel’s fur-wearing girlfriend told Facebook that she was able to brush her teeth and shower therefore, despite Governor Earl Ray Tomblin declaring a state of emergency and numerous experts urging customers not to drink the water or use it for anything besides “flushing,” she feels that “no one and no thing” has been harmed due to the leakage.

Farrell himself has avoided facing the public for his company’s reprehensible and irresponsible lack of safety measures, but president Gary Southern has made it very clear that…he doesn’t care either.

Boehner On W.Va. Chemical Spill: 'We Have Enough Regulations' Boehner On W.Va. Chemical Spill: 'We Have Enough Regulations'

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) doesn't believe the GOP should reconsider its deregulation agenda after a massive, coal-linked chemical spill left hundreds of thousands of West Virginians without tap water at a site state regulators last fully inspected in 1991.

"We have enough regulations on the books. What the administration ought to be doing is their jobs," Boehner said at a weekly press conference on Capitol Hill.

While Boehner said that somebody ought to be held accountable for the failure in oversight, the Speaker explained his party was focused on eliminating "cumbersome, over-the-top" regulations that were "costing the American people jobs."

How did the regulations stop this again? Oh. Right. They didn't.

Because they failed in West Virginia ... we should get rid of all regulations ... correct?

Haha, why? So they can sue people and give people who are dying a check for a couple grand? I was reading it took 40 years for one of these cases to result in a settlement.

If pollution of this extent is a crime then there is no regulation that should cover it. It should be a criminal charge with jail time.

I don't make illogical binary arguments like that, so, no, that would be incorrect. I think we should press criminal charges not sue in civil court.

[MrJimmyDale]

John Prager (the author) says FI did this on purpose ?? You believe that sh-t Cigar ?? Why do you think FI would intentionally poison the water ?? Why would FI through money away like that ?? Surely you're not as dumb as Mr. Prager.

White collar crime is never prosecuted like it should be.

When you're poising people, it's already gone far past white collar crime.

But yeah, regulations do dick.

But hey ... if People in W Virginia don't care ... what should I?

Where's the EPA in all this ?? Why was their last inspection in 1991 ??

And then there's that, too. I watched a show and the coal miners there were saying that they hated regulators because it kept them out of work.

I really don't know what to do as far as that goes when the constituents don't want regulations. I'm just saying it shouldn't be "regulated", ie "civil". It should be statutory and criminalized instead.

Civil suits are for shit. They take years for justice. Criminal charges are the way to go.

[pragmatic]

Yeah. But nobody ever suggested getting rid of all regulations, eh??

You are such a drama queen.....

I don't live near anything like that, so like I said ... I'll care as much for them as they do for themselves.

My Water is Regulated :wink: so I'm good with my Big Government :laugh:

[Captain Obvious]

Democrats are equally if not moreso responsible for the lack of regulation and ineffectiveness of prosecution in cases like this than Republicans.

It's what the bucket carrying left will never get.

If it doesn't bother you that 300k can't drink ... then why should I care?

[pragmatic]

If it doesn't bother you that 300k can't drink ... then why should I care?

The circumstances of the spill should be investigated. If laws/regulations were broken then responsible parties should be held responsible. Really not complex.

And the actual impact/danger of the spill has not yet even been determined.


But please continue with your melodramatic case of the vapors.....
