That’s a stretch, but hey. Getting water from the likes of reservoirs is not mining. Maybe getting it from wells, but who pumps the ore from a mine... lame simile.

Well, pour syrup on me and call me a pancake! Ya mean it isn't all made out of fairy dust? ;)

Sadly I have run into people who would not understand what you just said. Raw material and end product are not related in their minds.

All of you are wrong. Stuff is made in factories and sold in stores.

Mining and all that dirty stuff are just evil capitalist stuff.

The investigation was into possible violations of the Clean Water Act, according to the EPA.

Don't even consider tearing the tag off that mattress or you'll have armored vehicles surrounding your "compound".

An ancient Sumerian curse was “may the dead outnumber the living!” Our curse is that our government goons outnumber our citizens...

I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t hear in a few months about some guy in Chicken with an Obama sticker on his dog sled being attacked and eaten by a bear. Those guys just do not know how to keep a low profile.

Looked up Chicken on Wiki and found this little tidbit:

The median income for a household in the CDP was $66,250, and the per capita income for the town was $65,400. None of the population was below the poverty line.

I will be moving there shortly. ;-)


Downtown Chicken, AK (2006)

As of the census[2] of 2000, there were 17 people, 6 households, and 4 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 0.1 people per square mile (0.1/km²). There were 21 housing units at an average density of 0.2 per square mile (0.1/km²). The racial makeup of the CDP was 100.00% White.

I never met a rat there in Chicken, but it could be the grumpy lady at the cafe who serves tourists. I always wondered about her. LOL

That’s a whopping income level. Must be a lot of gold in Chicken.

“may the dead outnumber the living!”

That curse comes true in Chicago every election day.

These brave agents risked their lives to keep America safe. We should respect that. Ok, sarcasm in the extreme.
