" Serpent head" Gets Worked Up About Oil Spill

(We mean no disrespect and are using a term the press sometimes uses to refer to Carville)
On yesterday's CNN State of the Union program, Candy Crowley had an interesting commentary panel: Donna Brazile, Joe Johns and James Carville. They were discussing factors that seemed to further explain the glaringly inadequate lack of productive measures to the BP oil spill.


Carville was in rare form even for him and taking Obama and the federal government to task for not doing more to help Louisiana.  He lives there and his passion is understandable because he is watching his "home" being utterly destroyed.

But something he said resonated; "If this had been Nantucket or Palm Beach it would have been handled differently." He is absolutely right and the other two panelists agreed with him that the poorer people of the south get a raw deal more often than not.


Joe Johns acknowledged that government and big business know these people do not have "deep pockets in these areas to fight back against corporations."


Vincent knows just what all of them mean by what they were saying; we are living with it every day fighting Vecellio and White Rock Quarries.

Emelle, Alabama knows what they mean with the radioactive dumping by Chemical Waste.

Perry County, Alabama knows what they mean by having tons of coal ash dumped on them from the TVA spill.


If you're poor and live in small town Alabama, you don't really matter in the eyes of these fiends or even your own state and local government. You, are expendable it seems, and forced to live with toxins and heavy industry while the perpetrators get richer.


The sole regulatory authority for our our state, ADEM, is more or less in league with the poisoners.
