Thanks for the upload.

11:53 a little over 200 years… That’s all this country has been in existence for, and we’ve managed to destroy a great portion of it and still there trying to take out portions of national forest for gas, pipelines, tunneling under the rivers… as a decorator combat veteran, who just moved to this area, I’m a palled on how we just destroy mounds from the indigenous people… We destroy the rivers… We sell off our parks and public spaces to corporations… and then we’re asked to vote when really everybody that’s there just wants to take what they can, sell all of our assets and leave nothing for the next generation except for legacy of not giving a care about the land that we’re leaving them. The state has major problems.

If this is still a problem, why is there no news on this? Those poor people affected by a mutant dynoflagelites. This is like a bad sci fi movie. Originally aired in 1997, just crazy. Is there any help for these people who have severe affects?
