want to talk about because in spite of the fact that there is a wall of and fall the rest against mr wong and. i mr anderson has retired in a beautiful house in. new york and of course. it was a bone of glacier we're looking at we're going to be inventive and one of the implications is put a nation which you know then more than thirty thousand people are affected and the people who are drinking the polluted water have known about the problems this can problems that is this is through the. industrial you know that. foreign investment you know. all of those are sick and that's the position that having to get specific governments are not in business to protect the population. that's what they say they are but it's usually a pretty low priority. don't take any worry that somebody stored. over the record country and stored it pretty often loses. a loss of the work through the population but the leaders were willing to take the risk where it was for the. this want to respond in this stock to leave the government just pimping for chemicals and these are the same people who have so far. we strong
