FLUXLIST: letter: Thankyou Mayor Giuliani by R Lederman (fwd)
Thankyou Mayor Giuliani Thankyou Mayor Giuliani for repeatedly spraying my home, my city, and my entire family with Malathion, an organophosphate nerve gas that damages DNA and Anvil, a pyrethyroid nerve gas that reduces sperm count, causes cognitive difficulties and increases breast cancer tumors. I also want to thank you for killing off all those annoying little bees, birds, butterflies and fish that were taking up valuable space on which office towers and baseball stadiums could be built to glorify you as Mayor. You are absolutely right when you said that New Yorkers who don't understand that seeing a police car means they should run for their lives deserved the harmful spray effects they got. So many of my fellow citizens just can't appreciate that sometimes it's necessary to poison millions in order to theoretically save a few lives. NY Times 9/22/2000Giuliani Calls West Nile Spraying Necessary "New York City residents should be thankful the city has been so aggressive in spraying pesticides to kill mosquitoes carrying the West Nile virus, Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani said yesterday, rejecting criticism from environmentalists who are suing the city to stop the spraying.. Mr. Giuliani said yesterday that the people who were sprayed with Anvil —which the city Health Department calls "relatively nontoxic to humans" — had only themselves to blame. "There is a very simple thing to do here. Get out of the way. Don't stay there and inhale the spray," the mayor said, noting that a police car accompanies the pesticide-spraying trucks to warn people." also see: Daily News 9/22/2000 Rudy: City's Skeeter Tack Rates Thanks Robert Lederman (a plaintiff in the No-spray coalition lawsuit) Brooklyn, NY (718) 743-3722 http://Baltech.org/lederman/spray/ http://www.openair.org/alerts/artist/nyc.html

Candace, just let me know what your schedule is like. mine is packed but fortunately still relatively flexible, as I continue to make my own hours. if anyone else is going to be in the area in the near future, you are also invited. maybe a dinner party at the basekamp. we do that so rarely now. but you will have to wait until the rain stops at least. it is currently pouring inside the space. yes, we are having a rubber roof installed as soon as it dries up a bit, but until then...
