Firstly, it pisses me off that some of you couldn't say your piece without sniping at each other. Your posts would be easier and more enjoyable to read if I didn't have to dodge and weave around the attacks on each other's intelligence.
We are incapable of even considering using non-baited wordings and straight-faced replies. Satire must be resurrected by going through the extremes. There is no other way about it. Or so my chemistry teacher told me and why would I question Him?

That's exactly the sort of excuse I'd expect a flagellumed, manic-depressive, maquettologist to come out with.
Cancer clusters are a misunderstanding of statistics by people who don't know any better.
Like women who have children when they are over the age of 35 and drink more than five glasses of wine a week but not more than 15 are more likely to get mouth cancer than woman who don't match that description?
but I also use said chemicals on a daily basis, I have read the MSDSs on most of them, and I know the risks involved. I am not chemically ignorant.
Thats not the point, I'm sure you don't dump those chemicals into the environment.
You on the other hand link to a page that merely lists the common chemicals used in semiconductor manufacturing (not knowing what most of them are, and probably hardly looked at the page for much longer than it took to get the google link)
Golly, you and Scott seem to be in your own little cluster. If you had a problem with the link being posted by someone not educated on the subject, I don't see why you didn't object to Scott posting a link to an anti-lawer site, about a trial he likely knows nothing about either. Regardless, it's even worse to use a broad brush to paint all class-action suits as the same.
What are you trying to say - that the Semi-conductor business is clean, that there is no ill effects on the environment? Is that what you think?
you don't help your argument by playing on the obvious fears that you and most other americans have of chemicals and chemistry.
What????!?? If you think that chemical dumping isn't any kind of problem, then I don't know what to say. I'll say it again - your missing the point.

NB: you have a profoundly great memory.
