Why are liberals NOT demanding an environmental impact study of pumping toxic New Orleans water into the lake?
Personally speaking I think it would be a wise idea to study what exactly they are doing before they do it. I can only imagine what the accusations will be after the fact.
Maybe you are being sarcastic. I'm not sure and my apologies if so.
They have two choices in this situation:
The water WILL NOT recede on its own. It has to be pumped out. They cannot save the ones still alive nor remove the bodies until the area is pumped out (the bodies also have to be removed from NO because they cannot create mass graves there). Leaving it the way it is for any length of time will create disease not just for the immediate area but for the entire south and even the rescuers -- who are from all parts of the country.
Or... they could worry about the environmental impact of pumping that goop -- not water but goop -- into the lake and allow every sort of deadly disease to spread in New Orleans. Dysentery is only the first and mildest disease that will spread.
There are only two choices and neither is good but one is worse than the other.
