A CHRISTIAN WOULD FORGIVE & FORGET AND MAYBE THAT'S THE PROBLEM (Too Many Christians)?

 

I would find it easier to forgive and forget (hmm maybe?)  if there had ever been an out and out apology. Even sincere regret followed by promises that were kept would be more palatable than what Elmira and Woolwich citizens have received from Uniroyal Chemical and successors. That would be false promises combined with lies, deceptions, dishonest public communications and consultations.

Furthermore there is the not so small matter of the company and their hired intellectual pros ti toots consistently squeezing every nickel possible in order to reduce their financial liability. Of course this reduced financial liability and expense comes at a cost but it is one that corporations just love. It's called externalization of costs. In other words if a corporation can grab every dollar of profit while reducing legitimate toxic waste disposal expenses then they are thrilled. This reduction however is based upon using public rivers and streams as sewers. It also relies upon discharges of toxic gases into the communal air. Finally our legal system in it's utter majesty has permitted dirty corporations to dump as much poison into ground and soil that they own allegedly provided that it doesn't migrate onto neighbours property. This however is the elephant in the room. 

Everybody knows now and has known for at least the last 100 years that buried toxic wastes, just like those intentionally dumped untreated into rivers and streams, will migrate. The poisons can migrate via groundwater, via surface water, via air currents and via subsurface gas vapours. Dr. Gail Krantzberg advised CPAC (Chemtura Public Advisory Committee) that everything ever dumped on and into the Uniroyal Chemical site in Elmira will eventually migrate off site. It could take hundreds of years but anything not removed today and treated will eventually depart including liquid wastes that have stained and contaminated soil more than one hundred feet below ground surface.

This public apathy apparently knows no bounds.  It is only exceeded by public ignorance which has been exacerbated by a grossly weakened media desperate for corporate dollars.
