In upstate New York, where I am living, there is a class of citizens protected from chemicals and harmful substances in drinking water, and then there are the vast majority of people like me, my family, and friends, who are experimental subjects being tested to see if known carcinogens like benzene will do anything harmful to us.
A few years ago, we would have called that an unethical, if not illegal, experiment worthy of the Nazi doctors and the Tuskegee syphilis experiments. Now we call it governmental policy. The just-released
Executive Summary of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation report on gas drilling says that of over one million people who drink ground water every day, about a third will have their sources of water protected. But a shocking two-thirds, or 840,000 men, women, and children, will have no protections at all.
Basically the DEC is protecting those lucky people who live in cities and letting the rural population of New York State consume water that could be contaminated with a mix of chemicals so lethal that they are banned for human consumption.
