You don't have this weird cancer because of me.

You have it because of just, you know, you sort of lost the game of Russian roulette that is human biology.

And what we could have said conclusively was yes or no.

And unfortunately, we're not going to be able to say that.

This is one of the things like when we're in office.

The first – not the first, but the first disaster that we have – hopefully there aren't any, but there always are.

First chemical disaster that we are, we're going to take the infrastructure of that study and right away we're going to try to establish a baseline.

Is it possible to – I mean –

How would you – do you have to test the groundwater to make sure that it doesn't –

The local EPA folks I actually think did a pretty good job there on the water side because what they basically did is they just ran the water in the creeks through a filtration system, cleaned it, oxidized it, and then got the chemicals out of it and then put it back into the system.

Now, the problem is the stuff that's just in the ground, you can't really get that out.

Right.

You'd have to remove the ground.

You'd have to remove the ground and clean.

I don't even know how you would clean it.

I don't know if we have the capacity to clean it.

What you can do is try to, you know, as we did, we passed out bottled water and tried to make sure that people weren't drinking the water until the levels of toxins hit a certain level.

And again, the issue was never like the levels of toxins are going to kill you.

The issue is always, are they going to cause long-term problems?

We got so focused, and I think the media got so focused on, is the water safe to drink?
