This is who we are: Three coal waste dams in West Virginia failed, killing 125 people and injuring 1,100 more in communities downstream of the dams., Google Buffalo Creek, Mine disaster, people who lived down stream, knew that the dam could break, it was an earthen dam, Everyday the men would get up, trudge to the coal mine, risking death, the same people today vote Trump and against Green energy factories and employment.
I just watched a report on a community that lives in Cancer Alley, that part that stretches from Baton Rouge to NOLA. This area contains 20 petroleum refining and chemical plants, built on what was once plantations.
Butted up against the fence are communities, that have suffered and will suffer premature deaths from cancer. virtually all families are affected, one woman lost all of her family to cancer. they can smell the noxious fumes when the weather and winds are just right, they permeate the clothes, the furniture and can't be aired out.
The families have lived there for generations, since reconstruction, and are proud defiant and are not going to leave, but the refineries and chemical plants are not going to leave either, regardless of legal action and TV exposure.
Thus they accept death by cancer or respiratory disease, in their defiance.
My fathers family settled Ashley County, AR and my great grandfather sold 160 acres to a carpet bagger name of E.S. Crossett, who build a saw mill and town on the property
After WWII, the company and the business and homes that it owned were sold off, and eventually bought by the Koch Brothers, and they built a pulp mill, paper plant - Georgia Paific.
It earned the reputation of Cancer Capital of the US. Most of my family moved, during WWII, to the western side of Cancer Alley, Port Neches, Texas, Those that stayed have all died of cancer, my aunt and 1st cousins, and I have or had a "passel" of send cousins in Crossett and every family has suffered cancer. And yet no one thinks of moving to a more healthy environment.
People choose to live in tornado alley, cancer alley, the cancer capital, hurricane central
in flood plains, on the San Andreas Juan de Fuca fault
This is who we are indeed, there was maybe one or two men on the Titanic willing to give up their seat on a lifeboat, and certainly no women.
