The Instapundit link for this said: ‘A clean and healthy environment is good, but there are limits to how closely we can approach what some see as perfection.’ And what is perfection? The Virgin Island Daily News said: ‘As HOVENSA burned the heavy oil in its ground-flare system — an earthen dike to contain and burn the oil — a thick and dark plume of black smoke rose hundreds of feet into the air and carried oil droplets, which fell on some residential areas … Estates Profit, Clifton Hill and Enfield Green all were affected by the oil precipitation, and HOVENSA advised residents there not to drink their cistern water. The V.I. Department of Planning and Natural Resources told residents and businesses to disconnect their downspouts from their cisterns as a precaution.’
WTF?? Having oil droplets not fall on your head and be able to drink non-contaminated water counts as perfection these days? To all the nitwits talking about Obama being a Marxist, why don’t YOU give your kids a bath in your old engine oil, and give them a drink of water spiked with benzene. We should all reduce our life expectancy by five years so you one-percenters can drive around with 2 cent-per-gallon cheaper gas? You guys are the real death panels in this country.
