Former Apache Manager Joins Alaskan Cabinet as Oil Adviser

I grew up in a time when Ignorance was innocence. Born in 56. Spent much time with my Great grandfather in his hand built, muscle and sweat cabin in Estes Park Colorado right next to the mighty Thompson River. He had made a failed attempt at the U.S. Senate. He taught me, even at that young age of 3 or 4, "Good memories leave lasting impressions!" the love of God's creation was paramount above all things you could dig, scrap or nail together. He had started plumbing when honey wagons rolled down alleyways was the norm. As a matter of fact, he himself built his buisness on a buckboard wagon pulled by a longeared mule. He went through the depression, lost it all, built it back up and through a divorce, lost it all again. In 1962, he died leaving us with quite a nice inheritance. But! The best and most important thing was and still is to this day, the love and RESPECT of God's Creation, this old planet we call home. Ya can't drink the water from a stream anymore, not even the Thomson! Ya Capitalists wearing your blinders just keep plowing through leavening your reckless collateral damage behind you! Just like a mule site blinders, all YOU see is MONEY ahead, not what you leave in shambles. We got algae TOXIC, in our surface lakes, streams and now on both coastal seas, our air is more toxic then second hand smoke and our aquifers are so low they come outta the ground thick as pancake syrup. Now we're in cyclonic mess were we burn more fuel to go to the water store to buy water that is 99% stripped of any good, healthy thing for you to drink in the PROCESS of cleaning up what the pursuitof fossil fuels and profit has created. What was plentiful, important and safe, has become rare and dangerous and you guy's just ignore and trod along. Those Browns and Rainbow Trout my Great Grandad use to catch in the morning were as long as a man's forearm and beautiful coming outta that once CLEAN River. We gotta do better, or she's as done as we're all gonna be.
