Gold King mine blowout...

Gold King mine blowout...  The EPA finally released video footage of the blowout, which (as they've admitted) was entirely caused by their own incompetence.  The mine's owner tried to get the EPA to use a safer method, but failed – apparently because of the arrogance of the EPA administrators, who are environmentalist wackos, one and all.  They seem to believe that all mine owners are evil by definition, and don't listen to them – despite their typically vastly higher understanding of mining.  The same general thing happens in the oil industry as well.

This incident hits home for us, as this is an area we know well.  Watching the video, I recognize the impacted area; we've visited it often.  It's infuriating to think that the government is responsible for this – and I can't help but fear the results of the inevitably inept and corrupt health care bureaucrats after a few years of ObamaCare...
