From the Dow website:
"Did you know...
Dow is responsible for the birth of the modern environmental movement.
In 1969, Rachel Carson wrote Silent Spring about the side-effects of a Dow
product, DDT, on North American bird populations. Her work created a
groundswell of concern, sparking the birth of many of today's
environmental action groups. Another example of Dow's commitment to
Living. Improved daily."
Its amazing... Dow is actually taking credit for starting the
environmental movement. But all they did was CAUSE THE POLLUTION THAT
PEOPLE WERE SCREAMING ABOUT. Is that twisted? What marketing bimbo came up
with that one?
Just look at the bottom...
"Dow Chemical is a chemical products and services company devoted to
bringing its customers a wide range of chemicals. It furnishes
solutions for the agriculture, electronics, manufacturing, and oil and
gas industries, including well-known products like Styrofoam, DDT, and
Agent Orange, ..."
Refreshingly honest PR dept? Or fake memo?
Talk about the taint of evil . . .
Say it ain't so.
I admire the author's spirit but cmon, Pud, you can screen em out
better than that. Right?

While the memo may very well express Dow's internal thinking, it is
an obvious fabrication. Nice try.
Yeah maybe its fake. But Dow is still fucked up. Look at their CEO's
last speech- he views talks about commitment to limiting environmental
regulation rather than committing to environmental
responsibility.
Thanks, you enviroweenie douchebags.
A couple more fucking little birdies are around, but millions of people
die.
:tool: :flip:
Good job, puddy! Now role over like a little bitch dog for Dow like you
did for Ford.
The banning of DDT was a hysterical junkscience reaction that has
resulted in TENS OF MILLIONS of deaths from malaria

dow-chemical.com is registered by rtmark, so this memo is a fake.
rtmark is pretty great though ...
Ok I got fooled. I didn't think anyone company could be so brazen on
their site.

I didn't see this sentence in the memo...did Pud delete it or
something?
Please try harder next time Pud.
By the way, did you know that Thomas Register fucks thier "employees"?
It's true!

You see, the standards for industrial and environmental safety in India
were *much lower* than the USA's standards. That's why UC built the plant
there - they could afford to.
If the Indian government wants their mess cleaned up they can hire Dow
to do it - but if they're looking for fault - they can look in a mirror.
They did it to themselves.

Dow Chemical - Between $300 and
$500 per victim : Dow accidentally killed 20,000 in the 80's and feels
really bad about it, according to this
internal memo. Note: this memo may be fake, I dunno. Note 2: Fine,
it's fucking fake. And not even a fake memo at that -- rather, a fake
press release. blah, eat me

This is truly sick. 20,000
people can die but they can't admit responsibility because it would set
precedent for the future. oh, and it would make their stock price "not
meet its full potential." Sick.
This is shareholder greed at its
worst

Dow is one of the worst
examples of corporate greed and callousness. What kind of response is
that! Basically, they said they want to shove the 15,000 people they
killed under the rug in order to raise their share price. Criminal. This
coming from the same people that invented and marketed Napalm. Every
executive at Dow should do the world's collective genepool a favor by
comitting suicide.
Sickening!

Totally insane! They are
trying to get good PR out of admitting that they are responsible but that
they cannot admit that they are responsible?

pud is obviouly going to be
royally bitchslapped over posting this fake memo (I'm rushing to type this
before the memo and the attendant entry on FC's main page is removed).
It's obviously too much "work" for pud to check these memo's for even
rudimentary mistakes in accuracy and reliability. But what can one expect
from a guy whose whole "job" is basically done for him by yahoo, Cnet, and
trolling assholes who send in obviously fake memos such as this one?
Hmmmmmmm, curioser and

Clearly the URLs for e-mail
and the web site are wrong. Also the Dow - Union Carbide merger is at most
2 years old -so what had Bhopal to do with Dow?
fake memo?

Let's keep in mind that this
is *India's* fault, not Union Carbide's and NOT Dow's. India convinced UC
to put the plant there. And UC operated it within India's standards for
safety. The Indian government *always* gave the plant top ratings when
inspecting it. Even tho the plant would NEVER have been able to operate in
the US.
A shitheap of India's own
design...
