By Fascist and christian conservatives. We're just too dumb to realize it.

I live in Madison County, where the Lexington Bluegrass Army Depot squats like a malignant tumor. There've been more than just two leaks... this story makes leaks sound like such a surprise. This has been going on for years. You can drive by just about any highway adjacent to the depot and see those igloos. Thing is, farmers lease the land to graze cattle. They also lease the land to cut hay to feed cattle. At the end of the day, you can bet your ass your hat and your house cat that some of that nasty shit has found it's way into the food chain. Deer and waterfowl hunters buy special permits to hunt the depot, and of course, there's the public golf course affectionately known as the goat ranch, due to it's somewhat spastic lie. The local community has fought the construction of a proposed incinerator for the site tooth, nail and claw for years. (Paradoxically adding to the delay in disposing of the weapons). But, with the help of Eastern Kentucky University, the Army now have a safer, cheaper water neutralization process that was a sort of agreed-upon compromise. The Army didn't want it, but it was safer, cheaper (lots) and simply better. I think it was the "cheaper" that finally got them on board. At least now we don't have to worry about breathing the smoke from a nerve gas incinerator. Remember, mustard agent is only one agent stored there. There are nerve agents aplenty, and goodness knows what else. Needless to say, If you break down on a highway next to the perimeter fence, you get lots of attention. Well armed attention. The bottom line is, there is food being raised there, people recreate there, there are schools, churches and private domiciles within less than a mile of each and every single side of perimeter. There are also waterways that pass through the depot as well. These weapons have been languishing there ever since they were banned. The "best by" date has long since come and gone. Meanwhile, children continue to play, people continue to worship and play golf and drive past by the thousands every day. The corporate media doesn't want you to know all that.

Why are we in possession of this shit in the first place? No one else is allowed to have it, we invaded a country using the excuse they had it and we were going to stop them, yet we continue to stockpile it.

I mean, 56 degrees isn't exactly hard to reach, even in a large storage area.

an nope its not GREY POUPON;)

:P

It is a horrifying weapon.

Makes perfect to me. We certainly haven't had any hot summers before this.
