Eh. = I'm not poo-pooing the seriousness of the problem or the possible consequences to the swimmers. I guess I'm just jaded. I don't trust anything I read in the paper anymore. It seems to me we don't get news, we get the reporters opinion of the news, and the same for those talking heads on tv that pass themselves off as reporters. = I think we could do a lot towards lessening the problem with gardening/agriculture chemicals runnoff and contamination if the storm drains were connected to the sewer system and went through treatment plants. But I'm afraid the cost would rival the defense budget. Especially now.

Well it does turn out that science (real science that is) is not a static
field of study. We know more now than we did 75 years ago. It isn't that long ago that women took arsenic to make their complexion more "Pale"........ , that doctors refused to believe that THEY could possibly be the agents of disease as they went from one birthing mother to the next, delivering babies without cleaning their hands and killing one woman after another, that "witches" were drowned because if they didn't drown it would prove they were witches... how do you like that no win situation for women in a man's world....

That pollution is a political problem, not a health problem? What does "agenda" have to do with it when tests show dangerous levels of pollutents? Bob Just _ now_ finding a pollution problem caused by a plant that has been closed 75 years. Why? I guess I'm just not as trusting of government officials as you. Zhan |

Article of toxic levels of arsenic and other chems...
It is about time that the world moved back into being a woman's
world.... Not that I think men and women should not be treated equally... just that it seems it is now time for women to have the majority of control so we can see if the old tale is true... Give a male child sticks and he will play shoot and kill. Give a female child sticks and she will build a house. P.S. both of my children are male and are firm believers in peace and building rather than destroying "zhanataya" wrote in message ...

Each sex has a given role to play. The only differences being our ability of analytical thinking combined with opposing thumbs. Women do better with the thinking part and men with their superior upper body strength do better with the thumbs. zhan |
