Bah, completely different
If you live/work right on top of the nasty, then yeah, you'll want someone to clean it up. But if we're talking dollars and sense, it'd probably be cheaper to just relocate you away from it until the cleanup is done.
And I realized I was wrong in my previous post. It's not arrogance or stupidity. It's a juvenile, knee-jerk reaction against The Man. Any time we're talking about an environmental cleanup, we're talking about government or big business -- usually both. So as soon as someone involved starts saying it doesn't make sense to spend $X-million in this specific way, all the leftover hippies get up in arms about putting a price on people's heads.
Only people who don't pay the bills talk like that. Which pretty much narrows it down to children, politicians and hippies.
