Has anyone been watching this? Oh, my God!!! I didn't like the chemical industry before but this is the most incredibly disgusting thing I've ever seen. They new chemicals like vinyl chloride were deadly to workers AND CONSUMERS. They colluded with every other company in America and Europe to conceal the truth. Hundreds have died because they lied. It is one of the sickest thing I've ever heard in my life. Here's the link: http://www.pbs.org/tradesecrets/ ------------------ ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!

Jeff, if you want to repost that table, just take out all of the carriage returns out of the html so that the html is just one long line of text... otherwise the bbs puts 'breaks' everywhere there's a carriage return. ------------------ (===)
Check out the PAC money given in 2000 by the chemical industry - top 10: <font face="courier">Rank Candidate Office Amount 1 Bush, George W (R) President $549,436 2 Abraham, Spencer (R) - MI Senate $139,980 3 Lazio, Rick A (R) - NY Senate $82,500 4 Ashcroft, John (R) - MO Senate $75,900 5 DeWine, Mike (R) - OH Senate $61,950 6 Gore, Al (D) President $55,800 7 McCain, John (R) President $54,050 8 Roth, William V Jr (R) - DE Senate $45,300 9 Bradley, Bill (D) President $44,500 10 Dole, Elizabeth (R) President $41,535</font> ------------------ "I swallowed a lot of agression...along with a lot of pizzas."
Thanks, Achebe. I just took top 10 and changed it a little. I am just completely floored by this special. They are using PR and political contributions to rollback EPA regulations and basically kill people for the sake of profit. I'll say it again - NEVER should profit be placed above people. ------------------ AAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!
Jeff, Hey buddy, those profits pay my salary! Seriously though, you are right. Some of the stuff I have seen in the petrochemical industry would absolutely scare you. Trust me, there are more releases to the atmosphere than the public knows about. ------------------ Behad Sergeant at Arms of the Clutch BBS
