Reminds me of the "Give Blood" ad campaign where the girl describes how this plant was polluting the environment and making kids sick, so she organized to have the plant shut down. But once the plant was shut down, half the town was unemployed, so they lost their health insurance, and were twice as sick as they were before.
Be careful what you ask for.
