I know about these dumps so to speak. You know, people were not aware of the problems these chemicals cause.
I remember my parents and my grand parents just dumping oil down the drain or on the lawn where they wanted to keep the weeds from growning. It just was not a big deal.
What we are doing today is appling our knowledge of these chemicals and using this to judge people from the past that did not have the benifit of this knowledge.
I hope people in the future will be kinder to us than you are being to them.

I hope people in the future will be kinder to us than you are being to them. People have long known that mercury causes ALL sorts of problems. They have known many things that they simply didn't care about. I'm not the one to judge them, their ultimate judge they will meet someday whom they will answer to.
I just want the crap they left behind cleaned up. And I'd like those who continue to dump such filth to stop it. Nothing more, nothing less..

DILUTION IS THE SOLUTION TO POLLUTION. Simple, but profound words!
Why are those toxic waste sites so dangerous? Because the chemicals were concentrated in a small area.
Dig them up and spread it all over the United States. Heck, divide a single toxic waste dump into 270,000,000 million doses (population of the USA) and I would personally eat the tiny little pill given to me.
Shocking? Or do I actually understand the concept of dosage?
