You see, In the bible belt, USA, where most of these moguls fare the best, any bad result of something a human did, is a force of god. You see, they put us here on this earth to do with it as we please. It is our god given right.

LA has been criminally negligent in almost every instance of pollution in the state. Look at whats happening near the Denka Elastomers plant, a place that earned the name "Cancer Alley." The AG is already bought and paid for.
