Something That Kills and is More Important than the Economy

$$$$$$$$$---the economy, the bonuses, the liars and cheats, the waste of tax dollars----this all matters. But, compared to the daily poisoning of your air, water, and land and eventually your bodies these are minor matters. Your health and that of your loved ones are the most important aspect of life, or should be. Therefore, please start informing yourself about the poisons that our government permits to be discharged into our environment daily, year after year without telling you about the consequences. Year after year for more than 75 years, industrial operations and government agencies have discharged toxic, bioaccumulative, carcinogenic chemicals into lakes, rivers, drinking water, air, and land that poisons drinking water and virtually all foods that we consume. These bioaccumulative man made toxins cause incurable diseases including cancer, and infant diseases that are often chronic and fatal. Nonetheless, we seem to be preoccupied with the talking heads of Congress and the greater media most of whom who are either ignorant of or choose to ignore these life and death issues.

Please read this EPA link and begin to inform yourself and do something constructive about stopping these murderous actions.This TRI prepared is must reading for all. Read it. Become informed. Do something to help stop the man made poisoning.

The economy will recover. New jobs will soon be created, and banks will start lending. However, when economic recovery occurs we will still be poisoning ourselves and our children as usual. Wake up and tell the talking media heads and politicians to do something about the poisons that are sickening and killing us. Stop the blatant disregard of the ongoing poisoning of our children. Merely publishing the Toxic Release Inventory annually and doing nothing about the continual toxic discharges must end. More than 4 billion pounds of these carcinogenic chemicals are discharged annually in the USA alone, and much of this is concentrated near large metropolitan areas, where the population density is greatest.

If our Congress paid attention to the TRI they would have at least acknowledged the health problems that result. I doubt that you or anyone you know has heard anything about this reality. Our Congress and EPA seems to be more engrossed in the temporal issues and the use of band aids rather than real solutions to lasting problems. If we allow this kind of attitude to persist the ultimate cost will exceed the national budget as the overburdened medical system attempts to cure diseases that should never have occurred but for the bioaccumulative carcinogenic toxins that we ingest.

The National Institute of Health also issues an annual report " Report on Carcinogens" (RoC). The eleventh issue of this annual report to Congress was released recently and this link will allow you to become informed. I recommend that you inform yourself about the contents of this document that supposedly is read by our Congressional members or staffs as should the TRI. I suspect that both reports are filed or trash canned by most of our elected officials in Washington, D.C. and elsewhere and not read or referred to. The RoC describes the cancer-causing properties of over 250 common bioaccumulative toxins that are released into our environment by industry and governments. This report can be used as a cross reference with the TRI to connect some of the cancer-causing agents that are responsible for millions of cancers and deaths annually. Our elected officials seem to ignore these facts as do most of us.

Yes, the economic issues of today are significant, but they pale when compared to the harm caused by man made toxins that are continually released into our environment. When illness or cancer strikes a loved one we grieve and ask why. The answer is often "we allowed carcinogenic man made chemicals to poison us without knowing". Wake up and become informed and take this life and death issue to your elected officials in Washington and demand action now. Your life may depend upon it.
