Hi Tejek and Thread, "David Doniger, policy director at the U.S.-based advocacy group Natural Resources Defence Council calls methyl bromide the most dangerous ozone-depleting chemical still in widespread use and also a cause of prostate cancer. The United States, the European Union and Japan have cut the use of methyl bromide to 30 percent of previous levels, but now the United States wants to be allowed to increase its use to 38.2 percent in 2005. Methyl bromide, which kills soil pests before crops are planted, is due to be phased out by all developed nations by January 1, 2005, under a global pact to protect the atmosphere." cnn.com Status of Bush's campaign, so far: MTBE = Oil companies Methyl bromide = Farmers Dividends for non-hightech corps = Steel industry, etc. War = DoD, Boeing, Lockheed, etc. Please feel free to add to this list. Regards, Amy J PS Bush appears to be quite good in securing a power base to ensure his own power.
