Run, Stick your head in the sand, Watch your children grow three eyeballs.

The problem with the technologically literate is most of them are too starry eyed and don't bother listening to their technologically smarter sector who warn them about the dangers.

They merrily keep on buying their technologic toys and discard the waste with no regard to what it puts into the environment. All your PC boards contain lead, do you recycle it? No, it gets thrown into the landfill where the corrosive acids leach this stuff out into a toxic liquor containing bioreactive lead that ends up in the groundwater. We have three wells downstream from the local one telling us this.

Since your reply indicates you like toxic waste in the soil, please feel free to move into one of these contaminated areas.

A business compatriot travelled over to a model assembly plant over in China a month or so ago. He was making derogatory comments about EPA restrictions and laughing about seeing a late term pregnant woman working industriously spray painting models, no mask, no protection, with paint overspray in her eyes, streaming out of her nose. His feeling was that Americans had gone soft because they wouldn't tolerate such work conditions where there were no restrictions on toxicity of the work environment. Do you fit into that attitude. . . Would you allow your children to work in that kind of situation?
