Boo on the EPA...

If we can't drink it, breathe it, or swim in it, then, what in the hell has the EPA been doing with the millions and millions of dollars that have been pumped into that agency over the years.

Me: I mean...c'mon...if it's polluted, find the person or corporation that is doing the polluting and stop them.

EPA: No, Mr. Anderson. It's not that easy.

Me: Bullshit. Hire the guys who write for CSI and the Dog the Bounty Hunter guy, or create a reality show where finding the polluter gets you a prize and this would be a done deal.

EPA: Those are just television shows.

Me: And the EPA is just a governmental organization that can't do its job ala FEMA.

Clean air. Clean water. If it's not clean, find out why and stop whoever is doing it.

In a world where I can get a ticket for running a red light, when the cop isn't there. There should be a way to do this.

And another thing...if the ocean is this bad, just imagine what that lake that you take the kids to on the weekend has in it or that river that you sneak away to go fishing in a couple of times a summer has in it.

It all comes down to we're not nearly as freakin' safe as we would like to think we are. But we've all got our ostrich heads so far in the sand that we fail to recognize the clues when they do pop up.

And this is another one of those stories that probably won't make the news. It'll be buried by Iraq, Iran, and whatever the hell Jessica Simpson is doing now.
