Earth to Georgians, earth to Georgians...come in please

Have an attorney check for how many cases Exxon and other chemical companies have paid out in settlements on cases going back 40 years. I recall an Exxon employee telling me about a teenager that smoked some marijuana he had growing by a railroad track right of way that was sprayed with paraquat, or the likes. He wound up in a comatose state from it. He had no idea it was on his "recreational supplies" and certainly had no idea of the deadly consequences. His parents got a settlement. My brother flies for a contract air carrier that delivers military supplies all over the world. When I told him his nephew was in New Orleans, just after Katrina, he said, "Oh, no." I said, "Don't worry I told him to be careful of the bacteria". He responded, "It's not the bacteria and e-coli. It's the chemical plants that produce biological warfare, pesticides, herbicides and the likes have been blown apart." So, do you think they are now being manufactured in a state (Alabama)so desparate for "two nickels to rub together" that they don't care about the danger of manufacturing it, especially if the equally deadly residue is disposed of in another state and county (Georgia, Fulton)that has an EPD that is totally non-functional? They aren't all in Louisiana any more and do you think the corporations or your elected officials care or even have sense enough to care.
