Political Factoid
"Back in 1972 ... a bipartisan
Congress passed the Clean
Water Act.
"Given the enormous power
of the farm lobby at the time,
the landmark law exempted
"nonpoint" pollution sources
such as chemical overuse in
agriculture."
And that chemical overuse in agriculture
is now poisoning the rivers and ground
water from which many people get their
drinking water.
