Idiots on parade at the local county board Edited on Fri Aug-08-08 04:42 AM by LAREDArea scientists have taken more than 40 samples in the north state, including on the sides of Mt. Shasta, and all of them showed abnormally high levels of heavy metals like aluminum, he said.Aluminum is NOT a heavy metal. The metals are new and in places where they should’t be, he said. The dumping may also be contributing to disastrous weather patterns, Wigington said.Aluminum is one of the most abundant metal in the earth. “It’s tough not to connect to that with what happened in June with the 3,000-plus lightning strikes we had,†he said, adding that it’s important the public hear more about the alleged dumpings’ detrimental effects on the environment. No actually it's pretty difficult to connect the two events. Can anyone say local crackpot?Shasta County Supervisor Mark Cibula said he requested that the board discuss the matter after receiving requests from community members.........Although he’s not sold on the conspiracy, Cibula said, he thinks it’s appropriate to hear what Wigington’s group has to say.“Let’s look at the information and see what we’ve got there,†Cibula said.One of my side jobs is being a pest to the local town council. I can assure you when the phone starts ringing with constitutes fired up about something, the thing to do is let them have the stage for a while to say their peace or else they tend to make the lives for the officials miserable.
