I suspect this is just another liberal euro-weenie left-wing blog.
Brand new, million dollar, latest technology EPA air sniffers were installed in major cities in Northwest cities. With great fan fare TV newscasts, internet connections and e-mail they were opened to the public for viewing. General public connection was cut off abruptly.
That is all I was trying to say.
Well, that explains the "glow" I had a week after the disaster....
