John, how often is stuff like this really in peoples' faces in the news? I
wonder because it's the kind of story which, if people see it once every two
months, they shake their heads, say "that sucks", and then forget about it
and do nothing. Same problem here with Lake Ontario. The NY DEC is finding
increasing levels of dioxin in fish, publicizing the results (not often
enough), and you hear people say "Wow...is that still a problem? I thought
they were taking care of it". (They???)
