It's the economy stupid? By leaving toxic sites to go uncleaned robes all of us of our health, and in reality causes the economy to suffer. Everyone on earth has already had their DNA alterd by some corporations waste. We suffer cancer, birth defects, and many other common illnesses as a result. Our children will never again be the product of our own DNA but will be part of the DNA of some corporation that deliberatly left behind its mess to save money. The law provides that corporations clean up their mess under the Superfund Act but courts are too interested in protecting capital so by sparing corporations we all suffer both in health and in the economy because of all the health issues we all face as a result and the added costs it places on health care.

These companies just move to foreign country's where there are no current laws to protect the environment, companies like "Levis" and "The Gap" for instance who are dumping there toxic waste right into the drinking water in Lesotho, The Mountain Kingdom in Africa.

It is always easier to shift the problem and blame somewhere else, at the end of the day we all will suffer the consequences of these ignored "issues"... it is always easier to pasas the buck to someone else
