Effective Measure has this about Dick Cheney and Birds of Mass Destruction.
We have recently been following the story about the EPA’s attempt to ban the chemical PFOA. Apparently this is not a new story, although it is new to us. There was a great article in The Raleigh News and Observer yesterday concerning the DuPont plant in Fayetteville, NC, and the appearance of PFOA in the groundwater near the plant. Of course there are a lot of manmade things in the environment that could kill us. PFOA may be one of them. Every time one of these threats comes to light, it emphasizes how little control we as individuals actually have over our health. Isn’t that just great?
