Of course it is just hate. Haven't your heard that left wingers are just evil for the sake of being evil. and dont work for anything, only against everything.
I was being overly broad, of course, so in reference to Flint, probably nothing.. Having said that, I believe our waters our generally fouled by the energy companies..
Like BP in the Gulf or the Exxon Valdez off the Alaskan coast? In both cases environmental disasters could easily have been averted had corners not been cut in the pursuit of cost minimising. I'll go one further than that, the Daiichi meltdown at Fukushima needn't have happened either, had the seawall been built to the originally recommended height (ten feet higher than it actually was). Even FIVE feet higher would have kept the tsunami out.
