Each One of Us Is a Toxic Superfund Site
"Countries all over the world follow the precautionary principle, to ensure that their citizens are safe and that dangerous products don't make it to market.
In fact, the precautionary principle is so important in the European Union that it's been made a law, and even has its own website.
But here in America, when giant corporations hear "precautionary principle," they think about money, and the millions of dollars they would have to "waste" on testing products before throwing them into our food, putting them into our homes, or pouring them over our bodies.
And, since corporations are running things these days in Washington thanks to the Roberts Supreme Court, our lawmakers are afraid of the precautionary principle too."
