Heh...
You know, as much as people complain that the US's Anti-Pollution laws
don;t work, I think certain places like the Hudson, as well as the Cuyahoga
River in my own back yard, (plus the great lakes, also in my back yard, and
almost literally). have been cleaned up quite well...
The Cuyahoga river was so polluted, that apparently during the 60's it
actually caught fire! however, today it's actually safe to swim in...
Just an odd note from yours truly...;]
