i hope the christians in asd dont buy gas at chevron/texaco! |
In study after study of Chevron/Texaco's operations in Ecuador,
health experts have found:
...an extensive review of the published information on the known
impacts of oil on the health of animals and humans, the study's
authors linked this environmental contamination from oil
development around the community to a high numbers of cancers
in the area and a high rate of spontaneous abortions. The study
found that the risk of developing cancer in the male population
was 2.3 times the expected rate, and the risk of developing rare
cancers such as cancer of the larynx and bile duct were 30 and 18
times the expected rate, respectively. The mortality rate from
cancer was recorded to be 3.6 times expected levels in the male
population, and for rare cancers was considerably higher than the
expected rate, with the mortality rate from melanoma at 70 times
expected level for males. The rate of spontaneous abortions in the
affected population was 2.5 times the rate of spontaneous
abortion in communities in the area not exposed to the
contamination, or some 9.8% of all pregnancies in the affected
communities.
----
the tradeoff comes in lives for oil. many christians will get in their
cars, using up gasoline to drive to anti-abortion rallies. i guess
that when it comes to oil, abortion is okay after all.
for plenty of informative detail, google chevron texaco pollution

Too true. And of those who do care, can they manage not to use their
cars, even though it would also help slow down the rate of build-up of
nastinesses in the atmosphere? It's becoming increasingly necessary to
have a car in the UK, and it sounds almost essential in the USA.

The opinions given above may be mine. They might also
just be what I feel like saying right now, okay?

Can they manage? I don't get the reasoning. Environmental nutjobs insist
that the use of fossil fuels kills people, yet they prevaricate when it
comes to their own use.
It's time for a truthful bumper sticker: I'm killing the world more slowly
than you are!
I mean either put up or shut up. The Amish live without modern machinery.
No environmentalist has any credibility if they insist on living the modern
lifestyle while crying that we're killing the planet.
It reminds me of the Penn & Teller's *****! episode on PETA. It turns
out that a woman at the top of the organization is diabetic and uses
insulin - a product of animal research.
Her response? "Well, I need my life to help protect animals..." What a
fucking hypocrite.

Democracy: Two wolves and a lamb voting on the issue of what to have for
lunch.
Republic: A Democracy where two hundred wolves and one hundred lambs elect
two wolves and one lamb as their representatives to vote on the issue of
what to have for lunch.
Constitutional Republic: A Republic with a Constitution guaranteeing that
lamb is not on the lunch menu. Eventually the Supreme Court rules - five
wolves to four lambs - that mutton is not the same as lamb.
Liberty: A Constitutional Republic where the lambs retain the right to keep
and bear arms.
