You're after a different agenda; I'm not playing (of course, I knew
that
from the git-go, I do recall the CCA/ACQ thread(s) and your general
paranoia)...

Paranoia? No.

Obviously DPB and I agree. You need some sense of balance. When
most people hear the words "toxic spill" they think of tens of
thousands of gallons of something really dangerous, like dixon or
nitric acid, or Love Canal, not a car accident with 15 gallons of
gasoline or some antifreeze. And please show us where that ever
constituted an imminent theat to public health.


Correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem to be saying that a tanker truck only
holds 15 gallons of whatever. See...I used a tanker truck as an example, so
we're gonna stay with that for the moment.

You also seem to be saying that a ****load of gasoline spilled on a highway
would:

- Stay neatly and conveniently on the highway waiting to be cleaned up

- Never find its way into groundwater

You shouldn't say these things, or even imply them. Gasoline may not be the
most toxic thing we have to contend with, as long as it stays where it
belongs. But, in the wrong places, it's trouble.

YOu know that.
