My bosses and consulting colleagues will sit me down and politely admonish me

Mining consultant Jack Caldwell weighs in on the EPA report on Bristol Bay and the Pebble Mine.
Those who oppose Pebble Mine will laud the EPA report and back up their beliefs with the authority of the EPA. Those who support the mine, will attack the EPA as a bunch of hopeless innocents beholden to Obama. One potential peer reviewer of the EPA report has already told me he will attack the report for generalization: they did not evaluate the Pebble Mine; they simply looked at averages and statistics. That is not science, he will say. That is opinion based on prejudice, he will say.
He who shouts loudest may win. She who coins the best sound bite, will win. Those who can write the most eloquent letter, may win. And those with power behind the curtain will prevail. Oh where is Hamlet to pierce the curtain to Polonius when we need him?

This whole pebble mine deal would get a lot more attention if you could get some good pics. Any way to throw it in a net and have a bunch of Hawaiian gentlemen pull it onto a beach? That seems to work.
