Send hot dogs...

And pizza. Extra large and fully loaded.

Twinkies? Beer?

“The reason you can’t help is that you cannot reverse the irreversible brain damage that has been inflicted upon every single child in Flint,” Moore wrote. “The damage is permanent. There is no medicine you can send, no doctor or scientist who has any way to undo the harm done to thousands of babies, toddlers and children (not to mention their parents). They are ruined for life, and someone needs to tell you the truth about that.”

Not Only LEAD causes this Damage but Liberalism does as well...

[skeeter]

Don’t send bottle of water, send Fanta.

Sending water “cannot reverse the irreversible brain damage that has been inflicted” but having Governor Snyder arrested will?

[cripplecreek]

There's no "We" about it. Moore doesn't live anywhere near Flint and the Governor isn't the one who decided to switch sources of water or to forgo the $125 per day anti corrosive treatment.

He probably has a basement full of bottled water...and hot dogs.

[Telepathic Intruder]

"They are ruined for life"

Not too ruined for them no longer be a tool for his naked political agenda, though.

[grania]

Why do you have to make fun of him without reading what he has to say? On this, Michael Moore is correct. Bottles of water aren't going to solve the problem.

It's so out of control. One wonders if they wouldn't be better off bulldozing the city and moving the folks to abandoned properties in Detroit.

It's probably not just Flint that has poisoned water. Basic infrastructure such as water pipes have not been kept up in many places.

[driftdiver]

Trouble is Moore is right. They created the issue and allowed it to continue. Harming many thousands of people.

Not a surprise for a democratic run city.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

you cannot reverse the irreversible brain damage that has been inflicted upon every single child in Flint

Now it all makes sense. The water must have been contaminated in Flint since the early 50s, when Moore was born there.

"The reason you can't help is that you cannot reverse the irreversible brain damage that has been inflicted upon every single child in Flint," Moore wrote. "The damage is permanent.

Therefore, the next generation in Flint will ALSO vote in all democrats.

[Slyfox]

He is not from Flint. He never went to Flint schools. He never lived in Flint.

And I have personal experience that he is a lousy landlord.

So, for him to think he is an authority on any point is laughable.

[Zeppo]

Please, won’t somebody, anybody, send the guy a “wafer-thin mint”?

[FreedomGuru]

Flint city council chose to switch water systems to save money. Arrest them Mooreon.

So, what is the actual concentration of lead in the water? I heard it was 13 parts per billion. EPA considers 15 PPB to be the point that concern is raised.

I saw a map that showed the levels at a bunch of locations. One was as high as 6300 ppb. Certainly an issue. But, another location, less than a block away shows 21 ppb, just over the threshold of action. I think that rules out that the lead in question is in the city’s water pipes, rather a great amount is in the household.

The Governor is not the guy who chose to not perform standard regular testing. Moore should take a look at the local water authority for his vitriol.

[blueunicorn6]

Flint, MI is what happens when you vote Democrats into office knowing that they are thieves, but hoping they will steal a little for you, too.

There’s been no tax money for decades in Flint to maintain their water lines because it’s been stolen. It was used to hire cousins and girlfriends into do-nothing city jobs.

Go ask your politicians for a drink of water.

[morphing libertarian]

Us? Is he living in flint

[ColdOne]

The people in the local gov knew the water was poison.....yet let the locals drink it for months.
