"I was in a meeting once and I gave an analogy to my staff…the Romans
used to conquer little villages in the Mediterranean. They’d go into a
little Turkish town somewhere, they’d find the first five guys they saw
and they would
crucify them. And then you know that town was really easy to manage for the next few years."--EPA Administrator
Well
isn't this a charming insight into our devoted civil servants. They play the conquerer, we play the hapless conquered.
Righteous tyrants, sharing tricks of the trade. How could people put up
with this? This is not a peripheral guy. This is a quote from Al
Armendariz, the EPA director of region 6, the
area in the United States comprising Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico,
Oklahoma and Texas.This is the center of one of the most important
energy sources in America. And this is how the governmental regulator of
the energy community sees his job and his "subjects". (Incidentally, he
was the administrator responsible for the smear of Range Resources and
the Texas contaminated groundwater charge issued to interrupt their
drilling the Marcellus.)
What's really frightening is that
this is a spokesman; they think he is particularly good in presenting
their opinion and others are a lot worse.
