Chemicals of mass destruction, 20 years later.....

So the extremely devastating chemical leak that took out around 15,000 people in India, with untold 10's of thousands of others who have unresolved health problems... was just something that Dow Chemical need not recompense these people for.... for 3000 people we carpet bomb the hell out of two sovereign nations that never attacked us... not once..... and spend hundreds of billions doing it... go figure. The hypocrisy is simply mind boggling.

It's still a travesty, and it's not over. Union Carbide still hasn't told doctors the full list of chemicals released. Most residents will not see more than $1000 for the loss of family members, getting maimed or otherwise permanently disabled.

It's well worth listening to/watching:
