said by yourmama: I believe by 'pure defamation of character' you meant PARODY. Which, last I saw, was protected speech. But with the loss of other rights, privacy and miscellaneous freedoms, I may have overlooked that one.
parody implies thats it's funny or all in fun, this was something that was put together for the sole purpose of slandering a company the site clearly states it's from dow and issues statements in dow's name. Now i don't know what happened in india and i'm sure dow like all other big chemical companies has caused lots of problems there are much more effective(like giving some facts would be nice) and legal means of drawing attention to these things this site does more harm to their cause than good. It attracts the wrong attention to what their trying to say |

Ummm... back in 1984, an accident at the Union Carbide (owned by Dow Chemical) plant in Bhopal, India killed almost 4000 people and injured 3000 when a type of cyanide gas leaked from the plant. This was one of the worst chemical disasters of all time. Funny how it has faded from memory so quickly... -- If I don't see you in the future, I'll see you in the pasture |
