"If having endured much, we at last asserted our 'right to know'
and if, knowing, we have concluded that we are being asked to
take senseless and frightening risks, then we should no longer
accept the counsel of those who tell us that we must fill our world
with poisonous chemicals, we should look around and see what
other course is open to us"
