by Anonymous The St. Helens high school sex abuse scandal surprises no one with eyes to see. Columbia County was designated a “sacrifice zone” long ago. The wood fiber industry anywhere in the world produces dioxin levels second only to the petroleum industry. And the ammonium nitrate plant has leaked how much ammonia gas onto residents how many times? And that’s not even the worst of it. But everyone turns a blind eye, including the locals (but muh job!), the OR DEQ (but muh GDP!), and the billionaire owners of the mills (but muh yacht!). But willful ignorance is not bliss. Turns out if you shit in your own bed, others might get the message that it’s okay for them to shit in your bed too. Wake up.
