Human Experimentation 101 -- Why Not Gas Masks for the Whole Bay Area?

KQED's Forum radio covered the aerial spraying issue today. The guy for our side -- Paul Schramski -- was excellent! He really did a great job underscoring that the State of California is simply not listening to the people. A caller also pointed out this is just a large human experiment since it has never been done before. I was thinking, we should tell the state to issue a gas mask to every affected resident if it's so important, since they literally do not know the outcome and already do know that hundreds have been sickened. Also, if it happens, people will be leaving the area in droves, so local businesses will be empty -- businesses should be made aware that they will lose money to light a fire under them about this. Worth listening to the show.
