Comment on RBC AGM Tar Sands Protest by The Accuser

The Accuser — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 17:22:08 +0000

Be care what you wish for. If RBC is responsible for what companies do with their approved loans, then perhaps RBC would also be responsible for what a new homeowner does with their home who get a nice RBC mortgage? Is RBC responsible for a homeowner starting a marijuana grow up after they get their home? Or perhaps having unregister guns in the home?

This “blame someone else” for what people and companies do has got to stop. The problem is the companies doing the development and the government who makes the rules allowing them to do it in that matter.

With this thinking, RBC would be able to refuse you a loan or get you to sign terms that would allow them to recall their loan on your home based on their belief you may do some socially frowned on activity in that home. Or perhaps refuse your car loan because you have speeding tickets or own a cell phone and believe you might drive while talking on the phone. Hey, maybe you can sue the bank for giving you the car loan the next time you get stopped for drinking and driving? If you weren’t able to drive that car, well besides stopping you from polluting the air with exhaust fumes they could be saving a life by policing our driving habits! Yeah, that’s what we need.

Comment on Residents of Mankayan Evacuated by Renton

Renton — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 09:38:27 +0000

I visited Mankayan including adjacent sitios in the middle of 90’s & early 2000. I notice a large fault line that runs across Palpaltugan & Paco. it points further north to where the tailing dam was situated. along the south, it points to Mankayan proper. I am not a geologist but I wonder if this fault contributes to the sinking incident at the dam area & Mankayan Aurora area. At the road slide near the property of the Ngaosi family, you can notice a clayey properties of soil running accros the cut.In a hillside portion of a mountain, this tends to slide down at an appreciable arc on the base.Although my observation was of occular in nature, I suggest the environmental experts should also consider investigating it. The sinking always attributed to the mining activity of LMC. I worked once in the mines in 1996 & regulary saw sandfilling activities to filled voids left from previous mining.This sandfilling activity can also be investigated if it really was a good substitute for voided pillars.

Dear Allan,

Happy new year! How are you doing?

I never tire reading “someoneelse’s treasure”. Sometimes I think it should be translated into Swahili - have you thought about this? When do you plan to come back

Beautiful photos– you capture the colors really nicely, and the composition is great. Just a note: it’s actually University of San Carlos (the national Guatemalan university). They have a branch in San Marcos, and the murals were painted by the Guevarista group there (current and former university students). How long were you in Guatemala?
