Same thing as with the fracking guy who's just FINE with it as long as it happens near YOUR house. But heaven forbid he has to deal with it in his own back yard!!!!! What an outrage! Unfair! Freedom-freedom!

I agree with that completely. What if there were a law that all drilling, all dumping, all strip-mining, all fracking, all oil/gas/coal production, all toxic manufacturing, and all over-development MUST be located within one mile of the company's executives' homes?

I realize it's just a pipe dream. But it's a sweet one. Taste of their own medicine. See how they like it.
