Let's poison the children and see how they turn out!

Man, and I thought I knew what sick was. But I'm gonna give a toast to perhaps the sickest thing that The EPA has turned out in the last couple of years, and that is ladies and gentlemen, CHEERS. What, never heard of it? It’s an acronym for Children’s Environmental Exposure Research Study, which proposed to do exactly what the title said, pay parents to expose their children to pesticides. Oh, but only if the kid is under 3. Luckily, the man who was supporting it, Bush's nomination to the EPA Stephen Johnson, had to back down or get his nomination put on hold (Thanks to U.S. Senators Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Bill Nelson (D-FL)). The sad thing is, just because the EPA doesn't support it, doesn't mean it won't happen. The pesticide industry will likely find another sap to bind to its evil will before the year is out. The American Chemistry Council has pledged $2,000,000 to the study's $9,000,000 total required budget. Of course they're trying to put on a good face. They've launched www.childhealthsource.org/ in order to show just how benevolent they are. Supposedly, they want to "protect children" (/principles.asp). YOU DON'T PROTECT THEM BY EXPOSING THEM TO DANGEROUS CHEMICALS!!!! (for proof go to www.epa.gov/cheers)

And my god, these are the kind of people the monkey of a president puts in office.
