Nationwide, diesel pollution causes 21,000 premature deaths each year, including 475 in Massachusetts and 81 in Middlesex County, robbing those who die of an average of 14 years of their lives !!!!!!!




Well,well,well! Since I am a smoker who has lived in Middlesex County for many years, I hope my city will ban diesels the way they banned smoking many years ago.

I hear you.

A similar article, taken from the same "study" (and I use that term lightly) was in the Delaware paper this morning bemoaning the fact that one of little DE's 3 counties ranks in the top 50........I don't understand that.

the entire reason they banned smoking indoors everywhere but private homes was to get rid of the cancer threat in Delaware..........scratching head again time.

The only way these socialist control freaks are going to be happy is if we all live in communal caves, naked, eating the tree bark and grass which they deem to be appropriate.
