Cautious is the word I would use. Smart would be another.

Grannyk8,
That was the early 1960s. That was before there even was an EPA (established in 1968). If you want to remain frightened and adopt conspiracy thinking, that is your choice.

Considering Vietnam was a ‘chemical’ war (agent orange, napalm & the genetic/chromosomal damage to soldiers), there’s not much to cheer about when considering the short/long term, domestic/foreign health consequences that disproportionately impact the poor & people of color. It may be helpful if the EPA advertise the violations of American chemical companies non-compliance records of endangering the health of citizens living in close proximity to their plants – especially in Texas, where the biggest push is occurring to institute tort reform? Oh where o where is Democracy when U need it?…

It turns out that 2,4-D had nothing to do with the problems of agent orange. It is so non-toxic that it is allowed in extremely common products for home lawn weed control. It is still registered in 70 countries. You should do some homework before writing

I am sorry about your brother’s cancer but the original writer was right in that the source of cancer was the impurity. The reason that I know that is my colleague not only served in Viet Nam but helped make Agent Orange.

It seems there is a dichotomy in your thinking. You want less government but decry chemicals in the environment. You recycle but of what use is that if no one else does?

As the world gets more complicated and intertwined, I see no alternative but strong government.
