“Our Nation's geology informs decisions about resource management, critical mineral assessment, water quality modeling, infrastructure development, and risks posed by natural hazards. The geologic layers were compiled using a standardized process, funded by the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program [2nd link above]. For more site-specific information, refer to the detailed geologic maps, and resources available in the National Geologic Map Database [3rd link above] and from the Association of American State Geologists [4th link above]…”

A quotation from Bertrand Russell
All the governments of the world adopt elaborate methods of concealing truths which they consider undesirable, and inflict various forms of penalty upon those who spread knowledge which is thought bad for the population This applies especially to knowledge of the kind which is considered seditious, and the kind which is considered obscene. I shall not give instances, since, if I did, I should myself fall under the ban of the law.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Education and the Social Order [Education and the Modern World], ch. 1 “The Individual versus the Citizen” (1932)More about this quote: wist.info/russell-bertrand/853…
