In regards to class discussion on W. Virginia chemical spill and we should all be drinking filtered water.
Chemical spills and the ingestion of toxic by-products is happening all around us and these are considered by some to be externalities.
I see this acute flair up to be symptom of a more chronic condition. Would hope to explain it away as business, wall street or simple greed but I fear it is possibly human nature. Which perhaps can be molded perhaps, shaped like clay.
Not sure that despite all these toxic by products of modern life we are much happier, content or connected.
"Doesn't matter how fast your going if your headed in the wrong direction", a friend once said. Ok, it was actually Ghandi but he would have been my friend I just know it.

Yeah, the human condition is so scary and so sad. But I guess it is what it is, to be fair. It's interesting that things such as greed, or not thinking in the future is something we are all prone to do. And yeah, where are we trying to go??? There's no where to go, actually, so I don't understand this human need to just keep on prying for answers and "more" when there isn't any. SIGH.
