Would it rally the sort of dramatic change that three-eyed two-headed flipper-baby mutants no longer inspire?
The level of chromium-6 in Norman's drinking water exceeds California's proposed limit for the chemical more than 200 times over, according to a national environmental study released today.The Washington D.C.-based Environmental Working Group says hexavalent chromium, or chromium-6, in drinking water has been shown in lab tests to increase the risk of cancer. The Environmental Protection Agency has yet to draw the same conclusion, although its website states that chronic exposure to inhaled chromium-6 can lead to cancer.Some may recall chromium-6 as the chemical discussed in the biographical movie “Erin Brockovich.”
The clichéd question of optimism versus pessimism can no longer simply be about the glass being half empty or half full. A better inquiry boils down to asking "What's in the fucking glass?"

Seriously. How is a story like this going to help recruiting the best athletes to further "The Pride of Oklahoma" while Austin Texas can tell generations of future Heisman candidates that their testicles will gnarl with metastasizing tumors of stinking rot if they drink the water in Norman Oklahoma?
I bet bottled water just shot up in price over on Jenkins like gasoline after a terrorist attack.
Maybe somebody ought to do something....
