PERCHLORATE PARANOIA PERCOLATING IN PASADENA:

Newspaper columns in Southern California newspapers are bubbling with a new paranoia from those on the left side of the political spectrum about the recently released new safety guidelines for perchlorate in drinking water recommended by the National Academy of Sciences.

Are they positive?
I'm not drinking that water. In most areas of L.A. you don't need a scientist to tell you you're drinking out of some kid's chemistry set.
cool buy stocks in water bottle packaging industry
Oh, please, don't tell me that the left wingers now have their own 'fluoridation' scare about their drinking water? Their precious bodily fluid may be in danger.....:)
POE=OPE..
EPO=OEP....
Tastes like chicken.
Envirotruth gets a lot of money from Exxon. This fact unfortunately undercuts whatever value may be found on the website your links lead to. I can be a conservative without giving Exxon the right to poison me.
Spoken like a true lefty, can't refute the truth so you attack the messenger with inuendo.
BTW Exxon donated $30,000 to the National Center for Public Policy Research(Envirotruth's parent) in 2003, that might keep the website going if they don't get too many hits.
Care to guess how much the lefties give greenpeace, WWF, EWG, or club sierra in a year?
Care to look it up?
