Trailer of Tears

Toxic trailers will be used again if need be, says FEMA 2

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has promised it will never again use formaldehyde-tainted trailers to house victims of a natural disaster -- unless, of course, it does. In a draft disaster housing report, the agency said it would use the trailers if need be, though as a last resort, and for no longer than six months. Some 500 families made homeless in 2005 by Hurricane Katrina are still living in toxic trailers. Hurricane season started June 1, and forecasters predict a good chance of two to five major Atlantic storms.

    There are no wordsI know this is almost impossible for good people to wrap their brains around so let me embrace unrealistic idealism. Wouldn't you think that when deciding whether or not to lock a bug in a jar full of formaldehyde that you might fist ask yourself "hmm, would I like being dead yet delightfully well preserved in a jar of formaldehyde"? No, you wouldn't? Then why do you want to lock me in there?
