trying to find divisions and differences in the effort to hold a illegal
polluter accountable
(http://refusethejuice.typepad.com/thinkaboutit/2007/10/this-is-has-bee.html).
There are no differences
when it comes to what spewed out from Asarco from the illegal hazardous
waste incineration. Everyone, including David K., have been exposed.
I have not talked with a single person from El Paso including pro-Asarco 
workers, who are not concerned for the children in this region.  Or for 
the elderly, the infirm or the unborn children.  Not a single person.  
And like an ex-Supervisor from Asarco told us, the workers in the past 
prostituted themselves -- sold the future health of many for the gains 
of the "now".   That same retired Supervisor now is very sick, all his 
fellow workers have died gruesome slow deaths from illnesses, and he 
worries a lot about the children.
I hope that David K. will worry about the children, too - that is what 
this is all about.  I'm sure that he does worry for the health and 
well-being of the children of this region: he wants their parents to 
have the 300 jobs that Asarco promises.   Before Asarco pays the 300 for 
employment, I would like to see Asarco pay us, the taxpayers, for the 24 
million of cleanup beneath the old upper American canal that IBWC 
reported to the TCEQ and ASARCO years ago, though.
Right, David K.?  Why should the taxpayers get hit with the costs for 
cleaning up a company's mess?  That comes out of every working person's 
pocket.  
We can just ignore the toxic waste and then no-one has to pay the 
costs.  Except for the children who live with illness, decreased IQ, 
explosive tempers, self-medication, asthma, COPD as adults, diabetes, 
M.S., cancers, etc.

You are wonderful. Amazing. Brave. One day, El Paso will benefit from your courage and they won't know who to thank. David K is a joke, a shell, a wannabe Rush Limbaugh. And you, my friend, are all too real.
Thank you
