[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1448740, member: 20599"] Did you read the article? It noted that 14 Superfund sites in Texas are damaged or flooded by Harvey; that the storm caused 4.6 million pounds of airborne emissions that exceed state limits; and that there were 100 hazardous substance spills. I shared this out of concern for people in the affected areas! What I got back was a retort that I "should make a real difference in the world. None of us will be holding our breath for that to happen." I'm sorry you think that is ok. I try very hard to stay civil on here (as in life), even when I (strongly) disagree with people. I don't think we should treat people on the Internet any differently than you would treat them face-to-face. That's just my own credo. To me, if someone was talking to me and expressed concerns about me and my family, neighbors and fellow residents due to all of the hazardous spills, etc., even if I didn't think it was a valid concern I would not tell them that no one is holding their breath waiting for them to make a real difference in the world. (!) Just, wow. We are asked by Macon to keep it civil on here. Maybe I was raised with too much Midwestern politeness. My definition of civility seems to be different than some. [/QUOTE]
