The Radium Girls of Ottawa get a memorial

I don't really have anything new to say regarding this topic as there is plenty of information already available on the Internet.  The news is that this past Labor Day a memorial statute was dedicated.

News Tribune - News - Local - 'Radium Girls' memorial unveiled in Ottawa

That and the entire documentary made in 1987 has been made available.



People like to think that something like this could never happen in these modern times.  Yet today in the news:


"I have continued to underscore the importance of reducing regulatory burdens and regulatory uncertainty, particularly as our economy continues to recover," Obama said in a statement. "With that in mind, and after careful consideration, I have requested that Administrator Jackson withdraw the draft Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards at this time."


Is there anybody that is really in favor of poor quality air?  Then again we can never know for certain what may be happening overseas...
