Maybe in One Hundred Years by Terry Trent http://www.asbestoswatch.net/breaking-news/a-clean-environment-maybe-in-one-hundred-years/comment-page-1/#comment-61 Terry Trent Fri, 18 Sep 2009 19:57:02 +0000 http://www.asbestoswatch.net/?p=857#comment-61 Nice work Paul. The questions you bring up are important. The employees that join EPA and other agencies, that are actually "good" people often end up defeating what good they may contribute by defending the agency they are with. Becoming indignant when faced with facts that demonstrate precisely what you bring up in your story. But also, all of the employees believe they are good people, even when they are doing (or not doing) extremely bad things!!! All of them!! After all they aren't thieves or murderers (per se) and lying to the public is simply something that comes with the job and is accepted by almost all government employees. (Surprisingly, shockingly, our Supreme Court disagrees with that paradigm, indicating that "lying to the public by any government employee is a crime"!! My caveat here is that I do not know if this applies to elected officials?). All these good people don't stop there, they inflate themselves with their goodness and their omniscience until, in a very few years, there is no reason at all that any normal human being should have anything to do with them, except to wash the scent of them off their clothing and body, if any chance encounter with these giant bags of hot wind occurs. My inclination is to simply say, "well, we could solve the problem if it was never allowed for any of these agencies to adopt a platform that is untrue or never to allow lying to the public". The problem I run into is that these people don't often know that they are lying. They have been passed what they belive to be "science" or "truth", usually 4th or 5th or even 10th hand, and they simply repeat it as if it must be true. Imagine the picture, some giant inflated bag of wind grooming his or her ego by preaching to the public things they have no chance of knowing, not even the thought of investigating, whether it is true or not. It is not a pretty picture. This is way before we get to enforcement and the huge problems that presents. So the next place I mentally turn, since my generosity above obviously wouldn't work, is to think that some level of intelligence must be required to work with or for these agencies in the future. Government in general is notorious for bottom feeding at the various Universities and Colleges around our country in search of future employees. That and graduates turn to government when they have no other choices. Bottom feeding results in precisely what you think it would. People who don't have any hope of knowing what truth is let alone maintaining their self esteem at an appropriate level, commensurate with the work they do. Ultimately, these agencies, paying little to no attention to our Constitution, paying less attention to common politeness, are susceptible to the peoples's wishes. The people are a far more important factor and have far greater power than their vote in any election, with these issues. Unfortunately, given the complexity of these issues, to do that, they must find truth someplace. It is with the greatest of sorrow that I announce that even in a skeptical environment, people generally turn to these agencies for "truth" on any subject. A sure fire method of having disaster after disaster after disaster occur for centuries into the future, not just decades. Best regards, Terry Trent Nice work Paul.

The symptoms of Mesothelioma were non-specific and it took more than 30 years to appear from the time he was exposed to asbestos at his workplace. The symptoms included shortness of breath and severe pain in his chest due to accumulation of fluid around his lungs. It also led to him losing weight. Now my mother has developed Mesothelioma because she handled his clothing. In spite of this disease being quite rare, it can be developed even if one member of the family is exposed to asbestos and brings it home on the clothes. It can affect family members through secondary exposure, just as it happened in my family. Though it occurs more among men than women and the risk of developing it is more for older people, there are chances that it can appear among either gender at any age. Hi,
