Boundary waters under attack

IMO....Whether it's actually in or even around the BWCA should tick off anyone when such a great outdoor mostly pristine area is in danger. It's all politics and greed and the fact it's not even an American company that will reap most of the value makes it even more of a slap in the face. It's sad that people who don't use the outdoors just see it as a commodity. How about we get rid of a few golf courses...
To make it worse, we don't even have the capacity to smelt it either, it will get shipped out of the country. Last I heard, the concentrated ore coming out of butte goes to China for smelting, I don't know that as fact though.
