This nonsense about mercury is just that!

You're an idiot.

I'm saying that the concern about mercury has been grossly over-hyped.
Read earlier post!

The problem with what you're saying is that by the time a landfill is
leaching too much mercury into local groundwater, it will be too late to do
much about it, except perhaps to inform nearby residents that from now on,
they can forget using tap water for cooking, drinking, or brushing their
teeth. Remember, too, that this is America, where 54% of the population
thinks environmentalists are communist homosexuals, so nothing gets done
about pollution problems until it literally hits home.

54%? Don't you mean 94%?
