Slashdot had a link to this story about Monsanto's decades long coverup about the health effects of PCBs it was dumping into the local river waters. Your usual evil corporation covers up horrible death causing pollutants kind of tale, but this paragraph was particularly amusing. >From the part where they talk about how they hired consultants to prove that the chemicals weren't actually toxic: snip-- But the company's own tests on rats, chickens and even dogs proved discouraging. "The PCBs are exhibiting a greater degree of toxicity than we had anticipated," reported the committee chairman. Fish tests were worse: "Doses which were believed to be OK produced 100% kill." The chairman pressured the company's consultants for more Monsanto-friendly results, but they replied: "We are very sorry that we can't paint a brighter picture at the present time." --snip Hey! those aren't the results we asked for!! -Lkb _______________________________________________ Bits mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sugoi.org/mailman/listinfo/bits
