Agent Orange with new names
Remember when all those Vietnam vets came back sick because they were exposed to Agent Orange, a nasty defoliant that provided our service people with long term illnesses that the government denied existed because the cost to pay for the troops' health needs was greater than the worth of a human body? Well, just in case you weren't aware, The Orange is back, and has been back with new & improved names that mask its true identity. Ransom is one of the new names. The chemical companies had to rename it in order to get it back on the shelves and turn a profit...see they can sell this stuff until the FDA finds time to test it...yes, yes, it was tested when it was Agent Orange...but now, because it's been re-baptized, it must wait its testing time...meanwhile the producers of Orange will make more names for this baby in order to maintain its shelf life! I wonder if DDT went through the same transformations?
