Why isn't the media all over this?

What I find odd is one of my Native American fb friends who was all over this before now has mixed emotions about it and sees some good in it. The Native American fb friend who is also a friend offline hasn't posted anything as yet because she just got out of the hospital with serious heart issues. My beef with things had more to do with what was being done to the people than the pipeline itsself. If the bullets, rubber or real, the water spraying, and the in general misstreatment starts again you can bet I'll be all over it.

So you've no concerns what-so-ever surrounding the fact this pipeline will go over one of the largest underground aquifers in the country? You know, the one that supplies the water for the crops and livestock grown throughout that entire section of the country. The section responsible for the lion's share of beef, grain, and vegetables grown in this country?

You still doubt the power big oil wields in this nation?

Thought they agreed to reroute it.

They are going to ram it right down the throats of everyone living in that part of the country, and everyone living in this country by proxy. The Raging Cheeto just handed them an executive order to do so.

Canada is right at this moment dealing with environmental issues over leaks on their side of the border. . .

And it isn't a matter of if it will leak, it's a matter of when.  They always leak.

And the orders to proceed on the Dakota have been given. . .

I think more astute title to this topic given current events, would be: Why isn't "me" all over this?
