“They just didn’t think.”
Guess who didn’t think and in what context!
I will give you one clue: None of this surprised me. I have seen this happen repeatedly for the past five decades, again and again and again and again. Stupidity, and then a refusal to take responsibility, even as Americans look the other way.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Kinda reminds me of John Kerry, who described his (and other Democrats) reaction to 911: “We went into a conference room and for 45 minutes no one could think”.
The EPA is nothing but a Democrat job-killing agency which clearly has no idea what it’s doing!
I read the article, I got the distinct impression that the EPA knew exactly what it was doing when it decided to plug the mine per say, talk of half a billion or so in tax payer super fund money to clean up this mine and the associated rivers is a lot of incentive to play stupid! As for the EPA being a democrat controlled job destruction machine, that’s deliberate too!
There is the old saying:
The smartest people go into business; the mediocre people go into science; and the stupid people go into government.
Congress, the EPA, and the Department of Education demonstrate this regularly (and these are the people in charge of educating our children, which explains a lot about the stupidity of our society). The DOJ, Treasury Department, and State Department have joined in, these past few years.
Bill Whittle has a thought on how our society has become so stupid.

Perhaps the EPA, too, has unlearned everything that they, and everyone else, once knew. Perhaps critical thinking has never been taught to them — or any kind of thinking.
