If only some people who were older and (supposedly) more mature could learn from his example! :)<br /><br />It makes me wonder if the VY protestors take into account EVERYTHING that will actually be lost if that plant closes. Sure, there will be less jobs in the area, less money and electricity will be more expensive...but what about the loss of the human side of things? What if this family moves? They've just lost a lacrosse coach. This kid could be the next "big time" athlete or the person to find the cure for cancer. Who knows? The point is, wouldn't you want your community to be the one credited for that person's start? That community could lose some really amazing people and not even know it...which is very, very sad.squirtygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14787780576748043907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033288879708780106.post-60212515930260590452011-11-09T14:44:37.538-05:002011-11-09T14:44:37.538-05:00Thank you for the comment.

The opponent forces think they occupy the moral high ground, but they don't.Meredith Angwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737538041807740424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033288879708780106.post-8028388846065130232011-11-09T10:36:08.032-05:002011-11-09T10:36:08.032-05:00I am glad you are putting a human face on this iss...I am glad you are putting a human face on this issue. It never ceases to amaze me that opponents of facilities like VY have no qualms about ruining the lives of thousands of honest, productive citizens in their quest for a political "victory". Here you have an incredibly valuable economic asset that has harmed no one, has very little if any environmental impact, and provides a good living for hundreds of families, yet you have political leaders and others seeking its destruction. That makes no economic or moral sense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
