And these people are critical of corporations because they claim they hurt the environment?

Good Lord.

This used to be a beautiful square dedicated to a great American who helped save the Union.

Why are they continued to allow destruction?

In other news, if you decide to keep pigs on your lawn, down't be surprised if your lawn and flower beds are destroyed.

Too bad it was such a mild winter. I would like to have seen some cases of frostbite, pnuemonia and absolute frozen misery.

If the government said we give up ,if the citizens want them moved they will have to do it themselves, these idiots would soon find out what side of the 1% they are on.
