Gimme a break Tip.
Dumping barrels of anything into lakes can hardly be described as innocent mistakes.
Oh yes , and coal.. I recently saw an ad somewhere promoting coal by using the message that the byproduct from it's use was great for trees , and by extrapolation, great for the environment.

<<dealogues -- I have one in my own family -- say that clean air and water are priceless, but they all drive cars, use
synthetic materials and eat foods (meats) that require huge energy inputs without a thought -- they think that if we
could just pay enough taxes and include enough "externalities" in the price of the goods we consume --
supposedly we could live in some ideallly clean world. It is just not true ... >>

The problem is that the Corporations are stealling our environment and selling it back to us cheaply. The price for proper disposal etc. is not included in the original price.
The real cost in most cases comes much later in the form of huge medical costs, and evironmental degradation and cleanup costs usually dropped on the taxpayers door mat.
