Japan Redux

By the way, the electronics industry that allows us to have Playstation 2's 
and the computers we are using is one of the nastiest and most unhealthy 
work environments around.  The chemicals used in the circuit board making 
process are at worst carcinogenic and at best caustic, just the constant 
breathing in of their fumes can cause respiratory ailments and terrible skin 
conditions.  I worked in a circuit board factory in Orlando, and some of the 
people who had worked there for several years were losing their hair in 
patches, had constant rashes and poor breathing. I can't even imagine what 
the plants overseas look like, but without even a sop like OSHA oversight to 
throw at the workers, I guess it would be pretty rough.  But I guess thats 
the price of "progress".
