We cloak ourselves in cold indifference to the unnecessary suffering of others ~ even when we cause it: James Carroll
Within one hour of visiting Carmel, California last weekend ~ I found myself short of breath and and seemingly having an allergic reaction to something in the air.
I am in excellent health and not allergic to pollen or anything for that matter. As soon as I left Carmel and Monterey on Sunday ~ the condition disappeared so I investigated and came up with the shocking discovery that Governor Schwarzenegger had backed the aerial spraying of an untested biochemical over both Monterey and Carmel, California more than a month ago that affected the repiratory systems of hundreds of children and adults ~ including myself a month and a half later.
CLG News has the complete story on this illegal spraying that violates several state, federal and international laws and reaks of bureaucratic indifference to the unnecessary suffering of others ~ particularly children.
On September 9, 2007, several planes hired by the State of California Food and Agricultural Department (CDFA) flying at an altitude of approximately 500ft sprayed the untested biochemical, CheckMate®OLR-F, on over 30,000 citizens in Monterey and other surrounding cities in California. This occurred without the permission of the citizens. The spraying continued for three nights from approximately 8pm to 5am. About 1,500 pounds of biochemical were dumped on the cities... This aerial spraying violates several state, federal and international laws.
