This kind of disregard angers, frustrates and discourages. Let's garner that energy for effective and positive change.

We don't need environmental laws, we need American citizens armed the same way we were at the Boston tea party, with rightious indignation and Balls! Any individual who would willingly dump this poison on our beautiful America needs tarring, feathering, castration and boiling in oil by outraged vigillantie citizen bands. Please publish their home addresses so we can find and confront them in the same personal manner their coporately closeted actions confront us. If they were killed it could only be seen as self defence because Hg is one of the deadliest toxins known to mankind. America - love it or leave it, in a coffin if necessary.

Is there any action that can be taken to prevent this from happening? The recent conference regarding "Taming the Giant Corporation" gives me hope that the public will awaken soon to the power that we have forgotten we wield as consumers, and begin to take these powers away from these soulless corporations who care nothing about what they leave behind for their own children and grandchildren. Down with neoliberalism! Peace in! Gary How can this be? Is there any action that can be taken to prevent this from happening?
