This story was one of my favorite that I found. The link to this story is ridiculous. It contains all of these interactive options and video capabilities. The article sounds more like an urgent national warning than a legitimate public awareness piece. It contains a "conspiracy theory" absurdity to it that makes it sound like a spoof on the X-Files. However, the only real problem with the intense tone of the writer for this article is that it is about high mercury levels in fish, and the lack of governmental precautions associated with the problem. It is not about immediate terrorists threats or a crash in the stock market. It is about fish mercury. I loved reading and participating in this post because it made me smile, and informed me that the government has only tested four walleye and 24 shrimp since 1978. It is time to change administrative policies on fish testing if you ask me.
