Before you get all indignant about this, stop and ask yourself a few questions: 1. Do I know anything about cleaning up environmental organic toxins? 2. Do I have any idea how much it would cost to clean up an entire ocean to the degree that the Inuit could safely resume their traditional diets? 3. Once we get them out of the Arctic Ocean, do I know how we can get them out of the food chain? 4. How long it would take? I'm no expert in the area, but here's what I got with some back-of-the-envelope calculations: 1. No, except what I learned while housebreaking my dog. 2. A lot. Wait...scratch that...I forgot to carry the three. A WHOLE lot. 3. Well...a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, so...uh...Anne ? 4. Long enough for the Inuit to get hungry, Warrior Diet or no. Sure, it would be *nice* if we could clean things up, but unless you or someone else has a realistic plan for achieving that, it's just not an option. > At 02:25 PM 1/18/2004, you wrote: >> They want to start importing >> food to the Inuit with lower PCBs.
