It is always astonishing to see people clamor for more State protection of the environment, especially since the State is the biggest polluter in any society, and has the least respect for the environment. Deep Sea News (which is written by such people) provides a nice case in point, with a nice map to illustrate dump sites:

The Army now admits that it secretly dumped 64 million pounds of nerve and mustard agents into the sea, along with 400,000 chemical-filled bombs, land mines and rockets and more than 500 tons of radioactive waste – either tossed overboard or packed into the holds of scuttled vessels.

The final irony?

The Deep Sea News people marked this item in the category “Industry.”

Good grief.
