...I've been shocked to see the comments from some of my R or R-leaning friends on FB the last couple of days. Just now, a friend from Ohio threw a mini tantrum because they discovered the Ohio River is contaminated.

They're slow to wake up, but when it's in their own backyard they forget what they're supposed to think. This doesn't mean they'll be calling for changes to regulatory rules. It just means they don't want this crap happening at home. But, their acknowledgement that there is a real problem is comforting in some sort of twisted way.
