Make Up Your Own Mine

Make Up Your Own Mine - An impoverished town strikes gold. George Soros and foreign environmentalists say, leave it in the ground - John Fund writes another excellent article about the angry knee-jerk Left that cares more about their own emotional self-stimulation than about facts or the well being of poor people:

The other side to the controversy is told in a new film that will never be shown on PBS, but is nonetheless rattling the environmental community. 'Mine Your Own Business' is a documentary by Irish filmmakers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney. They conclude that the biggest threat to the people of Rosia Montana 'comes from upper-class Western environmentalism that seeks to keep them poor and unable to clean up the horrific pollution caused by Ceausescu's mining.'

Mr. McAleer, a former Financial Times journalist who has followed the mine battle for seven years, says he 'found that everything the environmentalists were saying about the project was misleading, exaggerated or quite simply false.'
