[QUOTE="Margonme, post: 1374589, member: 25776"] Clodhopper, it is better for that to be stated by you than me. 90 % of my workmates were decent folks. I use 90 % because I don't want to look biased. I remember a few knuckle-heads but most were decent. Like industry, some people work harder and smarter than others. That pertains to EPA also. Folks under 50 have no idea how serious contamination in the US was before the US EPA. For example, floating contaminates on the Ohio River were so bad, the river would catch fire and stop barge traffic. Water contamination in this country was headed to the point that drinking water was at extreme risk. Air pollution was so bad in some cities that people had to leave their homes. Some plants burnt tires and lead batteries in their processing furnaces. The lead would fall out creating lead levels in residential yards so high that the children had mental illness. [/QUOTE]
