I was at the Executive Hearing in St. Paul, and the Lt Governor brought up jobs. If it was only about jobs, it would be a much easier discussion. But there are too many things, and it is not as easy as just jobs. Why is the area so willing to try an experiment here that will probably fail.

They also brough up having minerals being a part of national security. When I can watch a home remodeling show on TV and they put copper gutters and all stainless steel appliances (stainless steel witch uses nickel) in a million dollar house. If having enough copper and nickel is a part of national security, Why is this allowed? So rich people can have copper gutters?

I'm totally willing to be a part of discussion, but I think just "trusting" that a foreign funded coporation will do the right thing when it comes to the big picture for the next 20 years, to me is suspect, and not sustainable. Do you remember what happened when they "trusted" BP to do the right thing?

Corporations are out to make money, and they are not out to do anything else. My hope is that a more reasonable conversation starts, and all the propaganda that mining interests is actually looked at to see if it viable.
