NYTimes columnist Nicks flips out about things of which he knows nothing.
Kristof has apparently never heard of the toxicology principle, “the dose makes the poison.” Mere presence of detection of a substance does no denote toxicity. Demanding that chemicals be proven absolutely safe (the precautionary principle) is impossible. I can only laugh at the notion that babies are born “pre-polluted.” People like Kristof have no problem with scraping babies out of uteri before they are borne. Spare us the faux concern.
Kristof raves:
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said ‘There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.’
Reading Kristov is like watching video of a train wreck in slow motion.
I suppose he leaves out ‘di-hydrogen monoxide’ (without which no disease afflicting humans can occur), despite its industrial links, because it is mostly “natural” rather than made by technology. Oh, wait, so is oil…
Like Laredo, Texas, one of the busiest land ports in the United States, once wanted to ban all trucks carrying hazardous material from entering the city. Idiots.
What a sack of rocks… if anything is really a toxic threat… it is the liberal media one of which he works for… but that’s NY what takes place in NY so goes the world… I for one think it is time that we simply isolate these major Metro Areas and stop letting them set the pace for the rest of the people in our nation. They seem to have the liberal leadership toxicity down quite well… like in Flint, The mine and other EPA screw-ups, and of course like Detroit, and California, it seems where the Liberals are allowed control, it is just a matter of time before they have polluted, not only the city but the culture as well…
