| Top Polluter Identified! |
| 2004-12-02 |
| Washington state's top polluter isn't a pulp mill, a power plant or refinery. It's the newly awakened Mount St. Helens. Since the volcano began erupting in early October, it has been pumping out 50 to 250 tons a day of sulfur dioxide, the lung-stinging gas that causes acid rain and contributes to haze. At peak, that's more than double the amount from all the state's industries combined. I truly wonder what the enviro-Nazis will do about this. Maybe if they ask it nicely and try to understand the root causes it'll stop erupting. |

| #11 I think it's actually the top secret factory that builds the rigged Republican voting machines which is located under Mt. St. Helens that's causing the problems. Like, mountains don't pollute, man! Don't you, like, know that, man! |

| #10 If Bush hadn't stolen the election (we all know Kerry really won), this wouldn't have happened. Mother Earth is indicating her sorrow at the criminal capitalist exploitation of our planet. |

| #3 I truly wonder what the enviro-Nazis will do about this. Maybe if they ask it nicely and try to understand the root causes it’ll stop erupting. Just file a lawsuit, and have the governing board of Greenpeace serve the papers. ;o) |

| #1 AzCat, perhaps they can be encouraged to jump in. "No really, go ahead, it was a practice of the indigenous people in Hawaii -- you can do your part to resurrect such a wise ancient custom." |
