We have a major problem in our county. We have cancer clusters all along the Killsnake River and around the marsh areas. Why? Acrolene. Acrolene is a defoliant,swampgrass killer and cancer causing agent to the enth degree. In fact,acrolene is 10 to the 43rd power greater than the safe levels set by the EPA in this county and causes cancer at all stages of life,from developing fetuses to adults. No one os spared.The real kick of it is all the products that contain acrolene cost less than safer products. Farming is a business. In business you save money getting the results you want by getting production products at the cheapest price possible. That's the standard model. It's also killing our Family,friends and neighbors.
I'm not against making a profit,that's how folks make a living. All I'm saying is...When it comes to the lives of our children and grandchildren and all those we care about,is killing them worth the money saved using products that contain Acrolene?

Apparantly it is also sprayed in our storm drains etc as a meand to inhibit bacteria, fungus, and prevent blockage.. One starts to wonder at what concentration this stuff is being used to accomplish such things.. it's highly flamable and stinks.. Knowing all this why would state and county knowingly poison us?

I live in VA, and have noticed crews spraying stuff into our storm drains.. bottles are labeled anti-microbial anti-fungi.. but are probably mass produced and bought in bulk..as there is little documentation for its use or contents on these bottles.. The people using the stuff wouldn't really know what it contains..but after researching it's many uses and risks.. it's possible that this is what they are spraying.. pesticide is also a common use.. would explain why some produce would cause irritation.. as i have experienced.. symptoms resemble acrolene.. in low doses.. this may be a huge problem..

Daily Horoscope for December 7

Taurus

There are powerful forces at work in a relationship today, and they'll have quite an impact on you. If you're with that special person in your life, don't be surprised if there's a lot of sexual tension between you that manifests as irritation and bad temper. You'll probably have a huge row and then have a very enjoyable time making it up.
