Where Have You Gone, Mr. John McCain?

I mentioned before that I am reading Crimes Against Nature and in it, there were several mentions of John McCain and Joe Lieberman and both of them were doing good stuff when it comes to the environment. What happened?

I am almost finished the book- about 20 pages left- and of all I have read so far, last night's final chapter was the one that has gotten to me the most. It was talking about the Kuehne Chemical Company in NJ and what could happen if terrorists got a hold of the chemicals. And this isn't the only chemical plant in NJ. There are eight total. And John Corzine, who everyone condemns to just be this awful lousy man, introduced a bill to reduce the risk of an attack. And it passed....until chemical industry associations started to whine and cry. And then the bill was killed. It makes me fucking sick.

And then the chapter went on to talk about the security of nuclear power plants and the lax security on them. It makes you feel nice and safe to know that fucking Disney World and Disneyland are no-fly zones, but a nuclear power plant can be safe to fly over? Now I am not someone who is terrified of death, but nuclear and chemical attacks are a whole other story, although I still strongly believe that with the toxicity of NJ, if a bomb were dropped on NJ, it would probably disinegrate in the air before reaching the ground.
