I'm Still Sore....

about the tiff that Chris and I got into, but I think I can risk posting a couple of links.

First off is a big fat website dedicated to apologizing to the world at large for Bush being re-elected. I checked it out on Nov 4th and there was only one page- I think it's up to 400+ now. It's truly a thing to behold....
sorry everybody


The next link is kind of bizarre. Evidently the EPA is using poor children as test-monkeys. I checked it out and evidently it's legit. Here's the email.Weird...

Dear Friend,

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced plans to launch an outrageous new study in which participating low income families will have their children exposed to toxic pesticides over the course of two years. For taking part in these studies, each family will receive $970, a free video camera, a T-shirt, and a framed certificate of appreciation. The study entitled CHEERS (Children’s Environmental Exposure Research Study) will look at how chemicals can be ingested, inhaled or absorbed by children ranging from babies to 3 years old.

Please take a moment to join tens of thousands of citizens in petitioning the EPA to terminate this study prior to its proposed launch in early 2005.

More information and petition here:

Sound like an urban myth??? Here it is on the EPA's website:
