The villiages of croton and ossining both give out free pills due to the proximity to Indian point. In westchester this is no big deal.. I think this is quite prudent. Two things, Bullshit on you because I once lived in Westchester a few years ago and never heard such a thing except around 911 and I was born in PA in the same county of one of the distribution sites for which all my family still lives and this is a first. Don't make light of this situation. There is something to this |

So cool your jets and stop trying to cause a panic unnecessarily. I for one would be either ringing my relatives, or they'd be ringing me if something were seriously awry, so chillup. |

So all of us local conspiracy theorists from the 70's who claimed that Thornburgh and Carter were lying out their asses regarding TMI.........were correct after all. I can't tell you how many people I know from Central PA that I know who have died very early from cancer or who have suffered tremendously from thyroid problems. Someday the truth will come out regarding TMI. |
