Are Delaware and NJ Blue States?

[chiggerbit]

Saw this astounding bit of pollution news, and began wondering if it's possible that the Bush administration uses little tricks like this to get even with blue states. Surely no one with half a brain would trust the EPA on this one, would they? How about they test it on the White House first?<br><br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/111-02262006-618484.html">www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dy...18484.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>EPA OK’d plan to dump nerve agent into Delaware<br><br>By HARRY YANOSHAK<br>Bucks County Courier Times<br><br>The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency won't oppose the U.S. Department of Defense and DuPont Co.'s plan to dump a wastewater byproduct of a deadly nerve agent into the Delaware River.<br><br>The agency said it's assured of a safe treatment for up to 4 million gallons of caustic wastewater created in the treatment for VX, a chemical weapon with a pinhead-size potency to kill a human.

Deepwater, what a nightmare that place is. <p></p><i></i>

Didn't even READ ANY of this post, but, I'll at least tell you all WHY!!! This Red State/Blue State CRAP has Got To STOP NOW! That divisive effluvient has been foisted on us all by the PTB just as surely as we were all "politically raised" to be either Democrats or Republicans! I apologize in advance if anyone is offended that I "wouldn't even read the post", but as long as ANY of you out there keep using the labels that "THEY" have stuck, or tried to stick on us, I'm going to write you off as an "Ignoranus", someone who is not only stupid, but an asshole, as well!!! (Thanks for finding that word, maryK.)<br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START >: --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/mad.gif ALT=">:"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Get some new terminology, and, some of you "git uh durn vokabulery", Dang it!<br> <p></p><i></i>

Far be it from me to suggest that you read anything, Smoots. <p></p><i></i>

[Floyd Smoots]

I usually read ALL of what is posted here, but, I really did make an unusual exception in this case, only because the title offended me for the reasons already given in my post. I "read" your delightfully designed reply, and even chose deliberately to respond to it. Now, why don't you give a "thoughtful" reply to my post, and "convince" me, that I really should read what is posted above both of our replies? I stand by my accusation to anyone on this board who uses the MSM, PTB sponsored "Labels" without rigorously intuiting WHY they are using said labels. Don't "they" already have enough control over our information and thought processes?<br> <p></p><i></i>

[Floyd Smoots]

Sorry, sorta, Chiggie, didn't realize that you started this thread, and thus, gave it its foolish title. No wonder you got a little miffed. Too bad. I stand by my accusations against anyone here who unthinkingly uses labels foisted upon any of us by the MSM-PTB. That's just the way it is for some of us. Live free or die.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

My apologies concerning any personally hurtful insults, chiggerbit. I, however, remain standing by my diatribe against MSM-PTB applied labels, as you can probably find at or near the top of the discussion board on a different thread. I can waste your time and everyone else's by self labeling here, but, anyone who has read my posts in these past few months, already has their gummy-bear labels stuck all over me. It doesn't bother me. I just firmly believe that we Freedom Fighters need to get past old labels that were handed to us from above by the FIC. That label, BTW, means the Fascists In Charge. Give 'em hell, chiggie!<br> <p></p><i></i>

[chiggerbit]

Your reply was not hurtful, Smoots.<br><br>It doesn't matter what you feel about the labels, the point is how Bush feels about them. Remember, this is a very vengeful man, his main character flaw. He wasn't just kidding when he said that "You are with us or against us". THAT is the way he sees each of us, in addition to the rest of the world. I have suspected for a couple of years now that he has found subtle ways of punishing states that did not give him their electoral votes. What better way to punish a "blue" (read "non-Bush" , if that makes you more comfortable) state than by dumping that kind of "treated" poison in the drinking water? <p></p><i></i>
