Exploded? Leaked. the WIPP was built in potash beds between Carlsbad and Hobbs. Given the salt content in potash one would expect non- corrosive containers to be used. And of course there is always going to be the guy that mishandles material. But, I see no correlation between that incident and this protest camp. And what does race have to do with my comment? Being a high percentage of Native American myself, I don't tend to play the race card. I just observe how protest venues, weather it be anti-war, pro-life, pro-choice, LGBT, WTO, 99% or whatever, usually end up being trashed. Not to mention 'Not My President' riots that leave stores looted and vehicles overturned an burned. I simply maintain that a group of protesters that claim to be pro-environment had ought to hold themselves to a higher standard. 

Get back to me after the snow melts...
