Avatar...Ecoterrorism

People right-of-center continue to amaze me. Dr. Richard Swier, , a proclaimed conservative called the 3d extravaganza Avatar a tool for recruiting eco-terrorist.....Really. He goes on to say..

"AVATAR is pure eco-propaganda designed to subtly and not so subtly force the environmentalist agenda on us all. The story line in AVATAR is simple: Humans invade the pristine planet Pandora with the intent to take all its natural resources for profit."

I cant really say anything else than stop taking everything literally. Enjoy the movie you payed an absurd price to see and stop throwing useless accusations into it. I doubt James Cameron meant it to be taken anymore than entertaining.

This is Still a Problem?

New York Times posted this interesting article on its website about how Millions of people in the US still have contaminated drinking water.

According to the article

More than 20 percent of the nation’s water treatment systems have violated key provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act over the last five years

This was something you would expect in a developing country such as India or China, not back home. And while according to the article, it only seems to be happening in towns with a population of 20,000 or less, it should still be acted upon with the utmost speed and urgency.
