You can imitate Prometheus all you like. But it's not going to render a higher political echelon--far removed from the mayoral seat of Flint--ultimately responsible for the crisis. The same one that ran the city so far into the ground culturally and financially that they had to switch to a less expensive water supply in the first place. Unless, of course, you're going to argue that Snyder reached down from his Governor's cloud like the hand of Odin and told the city to switch their water-source regardless of solvency.
But to add insult to injury, your ilk are the types who appreciate an extremely centralized power making decisions for every level from an upper tier. And now that you've seen the result of that level of bureaucracy actually being implemented, you try to blame the actors involved rather than your pet system. That kind of backpedaling identifies a halfway point between hypocrisy and charlatanry.
