Did anyone hear about Barbara Boxer holding up the nomination for director of EPA? Apparently the EPA conducted a study in which families (mostly low-inc.) where recruited who used pesticides. They were to video tape their children over a certain period of time. The study has been suspended - I think because of controversy concerning whether or not the subjects (young children) were consenting participants. But any how - It sounds like instead of warning parents of the dangers pesticides posed to young children they simply studied the them to measure the effects of exposure. Barbara Boxer said that she would use all of the tools at her disposal (i.e. - not letting the nomination go forward to the full senate) to shut this study down.
