You are ranting on the assumption that there really is something to clean up, or if there is something toxic it is a hazard to the local population.

I just finished a book about environmentalism and trust me, much of the stink they raise is much ado about nothing.

I understand that Libby is in the throes of an expansive cleanup of the old zonolite mine. They say zonolite has asbestos in it.

I don't buy it. Maybe working in the mine caused serious health problems, but the danger to the general population? No way.

It's the same with lead in the paint, the panic sweeping the nation.

I grew up with lead in every room and I'm not deformed, and suffered no side effects whatsoever. Ofcourse, we didn't make a habit of licking the walls either.

But in our hair-trigger society one knee-jerk parent, or like ed says....an ambulance chaser looking to make a killing, and they close down a school, spend millions to repaint the damn thing.

You ought to inform yourself better. Alot of what you read and hear is tripe designed to incite uninformed people to serve someone else's agenda.
