  You can bet this will poison the natural wildlife in this area, destroy the habitat and put the health of the human population at risk. Just take a look at what the copper mines mines and their waste products have done to the water,land and FISH around them in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan!! One case in point: Torch Lake near Houghton-Hancock. Sure the area is looking better than the mess it was in, but do we want to do that to the fragile Arctic ecosystem that supports the rare creatures and native peoples that it does?

  More madness from the tiny minority of humanity (ie, thieves of the highest order, scoundrels and mad men) who dishonestly commandeer a lion’s share of the world’s wealth, depravedly ‘bonus’ themselves for doing so, dishonorably make the rules by which all human beings live and deplorably rule the world primarily for the own benefit of themselves and their minions.

  Words to live by from these self-proclaimed Masters of the Universe among us:

  Go forth and multiply. We Masters rule. Forget about humanity.

  Plunder, gorge yourselves and hoard ’til you are sated. Satisfy your unfulfilled wishes. Greed rules. Forget about humanity.

  Build McMansions, pleasure centers, hideaways from the world, skyscrapers, faster cars, bigger cars, mega-yachts and polluting aircraft for personal aggrandizement and gratification. Greed rules and rules absolutely. Forget about humanity.

  In times of danger to self and others, with a single exception, you have an inviolate “duty to warn”. In the “stand alone” case the rule is to be set aside: You can forget about humanity.

  PEOPE LOOK AT A REMBRANDT PAINTING AND SAY 'PRICELESS, IRREPLACEABLE'. WHAT IS VALUE OF THIS PRISTINE PLACE?
