Neal, there are things like that happening every day........."back in the day", we didn't really know (or at least most of us) that kind of thing would come back to haunt us, as well as succeeding generations....we were blessed with "plenty"...plenty of water, plenty of space, plenty of EVERYTHING...plenty enough to waste!..Those "plenty" days are long gone...and we 'know better" than to waste, and pollute.....but we still do it! Usually because of either laziness or greed !
