Re: MCS brought on by toxid mold and flat earth ff
Posted by ff on 1/26/04

    Deborah D.:

    The public does not respond, react, become involved, typically until they
    are impacted on a personal level.

    I had to laugh recently, when a news interview on mad cow revealed that
    the public was content to sit back, trusting that "the government will
    protect them."

    The unsuspecting, apathetic public.
