The word: "Entitlement"

    Strange how the word  'Entitlement" rigorously emanates through the body from a monetary aura, describing, among other things, that some of the poorest retirees shouldn't expect compensation for the funds extracted from their weekly paycheck. And this comes from a representative fixation that includes increased need for deregulation. Deregulation, or lack of regulation, may have been behind the Enron-ordeal, the recent elements on Wall Street, where, among other things, executives were given bonuses from the tax-base that may numerically be close to the earnings  of a poor workers lifetime.
   The system and some of it's  media mouthpieces don't seem to think that  they're not entiteled to  lower water quality standards to accomodate the gas-fracking industry, which follows in the path of releasing the metal 'lead' into gasoline and paint, hence into human bodies, animals and plants.
   Someone on a Public Radio (I believe) , a politico from Washington I think, stated "...we can't afford to handle 'lead-poison' and adults, it would cost too much.  That, along with the recent decision to saddle unknown numbers of working citizens with insurance where we must pay out of our own pockets, while the congeners of deregulation are continuing to unload hazards into the earths' biosphere.
