"World Trade Center" cough

i have a feeling that, like Gulf War Syndrome, this is something that
will be ignored and brushed off for years... heck, our government will
probably officially deny its existence.

who knows, maybe the nature of the circumstances behind WTC cough mean
that, unlike MCS and GWS, it will be treated with compassion and
research. Maybe testing for chemicals will improve and sick building
syndrome will actually gain some legitimacy.

somehow i doubt it.

who, me? bitter?

of course i am.

people are suffering.

and our government is at least partly to blame.

On the local news tonight they commented on the high levels of lead and mercury the WTC clean-up crews have in their blood. Ew. Not good at all.
