Arcelor Mittal Cleveland Works steel mill and production facilities, in the Flats, on the Cuyahoga River, polluting Cleveland on January 2, 2010, and every day. Filmed from the yard of a home on the ridge bordering the Flats, where the residents are certainly directly harmed by this pollution.

Similar environmental disaster, underwater

gross disaster

in the air and underwater both.

We have met the enemy and he is us ...

I know that Walt Kelly, Pogo comic creator was not referring to man's destruction of the environment when he wrote that famous line but, looking at these videos, I can't think of a more appropriate quote. And we are worried about Muslim terrorists doing us in?

Interestingly Kelly was twisting a statement made by Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry during the Battle of Lake Erie.

 

Disaster

  Just a reminder--that in a few weeks--the Cleveland Metropolitan School District will close schools in neighborhoods already reeling from the effects of massive greed and corruption. 

Cleveland Area History has cataloged these buildings.

The most depressing site in NEO history

The most depressing site in NEO history... Cleveland Area History

Still mourning Rozelle - can't seem to care about any of the others any more.

Disrupt IT

SO SAD

The Political Gangster

                                                Like I said before you guys, if no one will speak up and fight for anything we are lost!! you two and myself are really the only ones I've heard speak about this. everyone else is lagging back so far their not even just complaining anymore, nothing. And not only the Schools being closed, what about the students? the babies that have to go to School with the older children . The mix is going to be bad!!!! No one cares they just sit back and watch bad things happen. I feel sad about the 8,9,and 10 year old children being mixed with the 13,14,and 15year old childrenBAAAAAAAAAD!!! Our leaders are not good people their killing us for free. BUT! I'm up for a fight to save anything because there is corrupt and there is death and corrupt, which one will take us under?
