The Left is fine with this.
I mean, look at Vietnam and Agent Orange. We sprayed dioxin on all kinds of people, and the Left was fine with that. They didn’t blame Nixon or anything. Oh. Wait. They actually freaked out about it.
But this time is different. Because Democrats are in charge. So ... dioxin is good for you.
Cancer incoming
On some radio talk show today, while on the way to run a few errands, I heard a guest talk about the assurances from Bush and Whitman as to the quality of air and water in the area after 9/11. Businesses were asked to return to work to show “terrorists will not win”. They did so based on the assurances of the government that the air quality was fine. The guest said, both his legal secretary and law clerk died from cancer a short while later, both at age (I believe he said) of 37. He himself was a prostrate cancer survivor. He rattled off the number in his firm that had suffered from cancer since 9/11.
They discussed the fact that the fires burned for over 90 days, dust was constantly raining down like snow-flakes, and it took almost a year for the site to be cleaned. These people trusted our government officials to their detriment. Most of the first responders from that time have died of cancers and other illnesses.
Tell me again why we should believe the assurances of government officials that the air and water in Ohio are safe (and secure)?
