What you just posted is EXACTLY the argument used by the environmentalists in the 1960's who fought against improving the levees in New Orleans, they argued it "might endanger the environment"... I did not pose any argument against any suggested improvement. I am just stating the simple fact that mankind is creating significant and dangerous levels of pollution. How you can jump from the fact that we are polluting this world, to a stand against improving the N.O. levees, is a huge stretch. I have not made any suggestions and I have not fought against any constructive idea. The toxic levels, of water, air and food pollution, are already causing significant health problems, such as increased asthma, difficulty concentrating, heart rhythm irregularities, blood pressure problems, gastric problems, fatigue or overtiredness, birth defects (both physical and mental), respiratory illnesses, cancers, etc., many of which result in death. You can still support your political agenda without having to take such an illogical and misguided stand against the existence and health threat of pollution. You are acting like pollution is a political enemy that can be defeated with just words, or ignoring the fact that it exists at a dangerous level. Sadly, both your family and my family and our friends and neighbors are already suffering health problems from the pollution.
