Whadaya know, another site

I've gotta stop saying that...

And for the site.

This site talks about how its all nice and happy up here in the U.S., but in Mexico, it a lot rougher in the pesticide business. Its anything goes, no harmful chemicals are illegal down there in Mexico. This means that companies can, 1) Make pesticides that are harmful towards the environment and 2) Make pesticides that will wind up on the plates of the Mexicans and possible poison them. Both of these are bad things. Along with that, the government is so corrupt that they don't mind as long as the companies who make pesticides keep paying them. Another bad point is that there are tons of pesticides, and the farmers don't care that much, so they could end up picking the worst of the lot. Bad news indeed, but a good source.

On a similar but slightly to the left and down note, I finished the script on time. :D
