I think “Fall On Me” is a more appropriate REM song:

Buy the sky and sell the sky
And tell the sky and tell the sky
Don’t fall on me

Taking these two posts together it’s clear that the local atmosphere is stifling. Unfortunately this story on Kodak is not new. Nor is the toxic threat under Kodak.

What is sad is the toothlessness of the local media in pursuing it.

If Kodak is still the largest Industrial site in New York State then we’ve got real problems. They’ve knocked down over 100 building so far.
Hell they hardly make anything here anymore.
I wonder if the report is using some outdated info from 10 years ago.
Either that or we don’t make anything any where else in New York anymore.

Is it just me, or are you all noticing a great incidence of various types of cancers in this area among people you know, occurring with more frequency than you would expect?

Don’t. Talk. About. Cancer. Clusters.

If you want to talk about unscientific nonsense, make it about things that happened in Star Wars and The Matrix.

Trust me — I taught statistics for years.

Don’t get me wrong — fire away at them for polluting too much, but unless you’re a professional statistician don’t mess with the cancer cluster stuff.

Someday Exile, hopefully at one of the Drinking Liberally nights, I’ll talk to you about cancer clusters and statistics, and people who bravely ask questions when young people get sick, and suddenly realize that they are not alone.

It only takes one voice to ask the question that others silently share. It’s through comparison and analysis that not just cancer patterns are discovered, but other forms of illness and disease that can be and have been proven to be linked to environmental mismanagement of industrial waste and chemicals.

I’m very sorry SconsetMonkey - and for your friends child too Angel. Please don’t stop talking, and don’t ever let anyone silence you from asking the questions you deserve to receive the answers for.

How is your son today Sconset?

Big company in a small town employs and pollutes for decades, then collapses and leaves behind a legacy of polluted and damaged lands.

Hold the broadcast Anderson, we’ve got a shocking NEW story.

Now that EK is no longer the tails that wags the dog, why should the local establishment still protect the Golden Goose?

Because it’s too much trouble to weed out the Rolodex favors. Think the lunch-bunch at the Rochester Club are going to snub their old friends? Not a chance.

check the barrel farm buried under Kodak land near Ridgeway and Latona.
