Regarding Minnesota - Elizabeth Warren shows judgment and a conscience. Where's Joe?

MinnPost: "Elizabeth Warren comes out against Line 3 and Twin Metals, and Minnesota construction unions are not happy"

However, much more is at stake this election cycle than Iron Ranger whining. There are some up there who deserve Stauber, and vice versa. Bigger things are at stake than regional labor shortsightedness.

Similarly, if Lockheed-Martin wants a war with Iran that does not mean they should get it.

The Chilean firm behind Twin Metals is no more deserving a right to havoc with Minnesota's environment than the Swiss firm behind PolyMet. Greed is Good for the fictional Gordon Gecko, but this is the real world.
