    Mark_it_8_dude: This kind of shows the real life, real people, other-side-of-the-coin of environmentalism. Outlawing the use of mercury would put these people and their families in deep shit, but at the same time mercury eventually shortens their life expectancy. You can vote that your neighbor has to use more environmentally-pure practices, but those are necessarily going to cost your neighbor more of his profits (if not, they'd already be doing it). I'm not really sure what Trace knows that a government can do to make jobs for all people. Jobs are nothing more than everyone exchanging services with each other. We don't need a government to make that happen. I'm capable of talking and exchanging with other people on my own, and then I don't have a king or his staff to pay for. I don't need some god-complex human to make my life happen.

    marktwaint: Agreed. Trace is a great host. His accent is pretty charming and he has that weird, quirky vibe going on that makes him seem like he could say some awful shit to your mom but he'd say it in that funny drawl, and mom would just be like oh well.. and then cook him dinner.

    DabblesInPacifism: Trace is still one of the best correspondents anywhere ever. I'm surprised he isn't wearing a suit, double-breasted.

      bugaboo: not good at all. that water is toxic. the whole situation is very sad because the poor people have no way of knowing either. mercury poisoning can be extremely deadly if untreated

    Biff: I've lived on rivers most of my life and trust me, there is plenty of dazzle being added to American rivers too. Ever seen a three-eyed catfish? I have.
