Stop for how long? The scheme has never been tested in a man-made impoundment, nor at 9,000 to 10,000 ft. in mountainous terrain subject to very heavy snowfalls, avalanches, flooding, severe underground seepage and seismic activity. If, or when, the tailings dump fails, it will funnel heavy metals into Fisher Creek, which becomes the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River, the only "wild and scenic" river in northwestern Wyoming. If the Army Corps of Engineers or the Environmental Protection Agency vetoes the wetlands destruction, the next best site would require a more complicated...

Mansfield's comments typically seem casual and off-the-cuff, but they are clearly calculated to generate the most adamant and angry response possible (either that or he's just dump, and compelling as this possibility seems, it's unlikely). It is sad that, as part of a minority of conservatives on campus, he does not take more seriously his self-proclaimed responsibility to contribute meaningfully to intelligent discussion at Harvard...
