>From Vanessa of the Marxism list. CB (((((((( "It's not just industry workers who are at risk. Journalist Bill Moyers last week delivered what had been promised: a devastating indictment of the U.S. chemical industry. His televised special on PBS, "Trade Secrets," exposed in graphic detail what happens when a powerful special interest uses secrecy, deceit and political influence to maximize corporate profits at the expense of its workers, the public and the environment." VANESSA: I hate to say this, but the chemical industry problem is MUCH worse even than what ANYONE thinks. I personally doubt there is ANY solution to the pollution problem anymore; even if all of humanity quit polluting cold-turkey tomorrow, the damage would probably still be felt 1000 years for now. There are NO PEOPLE left in this world whose bodies are not polluted. There is little clean water left. And even if we began to clean ALL the water people drink, the act of cleaning it would pollute other places. There is NO law or political system that can change this. I believe the big governments of this world already knows this: that is why they are in such a hurry to find ways to live in outer space, as shown by NASA's 69 sexual positions in space project. To fix things, we would have to immediately switch to hydrogen fuel. THAT is not going to happen anytime soon. Will it be possible to clean up this planet someday? I am a chemist, and I don't believe so. Vanessa _______________________________________________ CrashList website: http://website.lineone.net/~resource_base
