Wearing a mask with your nose sticking out is like wearing a condom on your testicles.
When out walking, look out for PROBlems. You know: maskless Plague Rats On Bicycles who blow past you without giving you time to get out of the way.
Ah, CONServatives, the Masters of Projection (MOPs). With CONServatives, every accusation is a confession. Weird, that.

That would be fine if the state actually did something, but all too often the state has been more concerned with losing the tax revenue from those businesses and the jobs that they generated than they have been about human health risk. More often than not the people being affected by the pollution were the poorest residents, because good neighborhoods are not located next to stinky factories or the tailing ponds of the mining industry. Consider the Dakota Access Pipeline situation. The pipeline would originally have crossed the river north of Bismark, but in its environmental assessment, the Army Corps of Engineers rejected the Bismarck route to protect wells that serve the Bismark municipal water supply. Yet the chosen route instead poses a risk to the Standing Rock Sioux reservation's water supply. Love Canal is another prime example. The people there owned homes that they couldn't sell, so they couldn't even afford to move away.
Here's a situation brewing:
Eight Northeastern and mid-Atlantic governors on Monday petitioned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to require "upwind" states in the Midwest and South to curb ozone-forming pollution from their power plants, which they say travels downwind and poses health risks to their citizens.They want the EPA to force nine states - Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia - to regulate the emissions that cross into their borders through prevailing winds and contribute to higher ozone levels to the north and east of the upwind states. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-us...9B80M520131209
