All they want is clean water.

(4,826 posts)And by "up here" I mean that I live straight north of the protest in the same county (Morton Co.) that was charging Amy Goodman with rioting. Embarrassing. There are helicopters going over my house all the time to fly out there. Police cars driving to nearby hotels and Walmart all the time from all over the state and outside the state. It makes me sick. I feel powerless.
