They say that hindsight is 20/20 vision. Today, as the devastating effects of chemicals in our water, food and environment surface, we need to look back and see where things went wrong.

I know we&#8217;re all anxious about swine flu this season, but the truth is that for most people, the flu&#8211;no matter what type of flu it is&#8211;doesn&#8217;t pose a serious danger.
