	I am *not* trying to start anything by saying this, I just wanted to
put it 
	out there and you all can decide for yourselves what you think... 
	
	We lived in NYC before, during and after September 11th, 2001. I was
at the 
	site 9 days after it happened and I knew even then that there was
*no way* 
	that that air around Ground Zero was safe...However, the White House

	pressured the EPA to release 'positive' findings from their testing.
About a 
	year and a half later, we found out the truth, which was that it was
*not* 
	safe. If you are skeptical, check out the NY Times archives. The
rescue, 
	steel, recovery, etc. workers are now paying for that slight-of-hand
with 
	their lives. 
	
	Again, I'm not saying that that is exactly what is going on here,
I'm just 
	letting you all in on what I have seen and heard with my own eyes
and ears. 
	I would definitely trust the Bucket Brigade a *heck* of a lot more
than I 
	would trust the EPA, but that's just me. I'm hoping to hire someone
to do 
	testing in *my* house so that I can have actual results that *I*
paid for 
	and can interpret without any political influence. 
	
	Hope this helps someone...
