Well, actually Rocky Flats, a plutonium contaminated toxic waste site slated to be reopened as a family recreation area.

Thanks to corporate control of government, Rocky Flats, a nuclear weapons plant in the Denver area, spent many years poisoning its employees and nearby residents with plutonium, made huge profits, and was never held accountable. It did not have to compensate victims or clean up the site, and plans are now being made to open the site as a family recreation area.

In order to protect corporate profits, the FBI and the Justice Department lied, and Congress ignored the problem. Although there were indeed enormous profits to be made, the contracts were awarded by a compliant Congress whose members, for the most part, are financed by corporate donations, and, contrary to free market economic theories, there was no consumer demand for enough nuclear weapons to blow up the entire world twenty-one times, when we already had enough such weapons to blow it up twenty times--and we cannot dispose of nuclear wastes safely.

Even if you don't live near and have never been to Denver, you might have gotten plutonium poisoning from eating vegetables grown near there when fields were sprayed with nuclear wastes. And, of course, Rocky Flats is certainly not the only nuclear weapons plant that operated or still operates in this country. The contamination from such plants has poisoned the underlying water table and spread to rivers which carry it to other areas. There is no safe level of plutonium, and it is still deadly after thousands of years.

We cannot escape from the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, and the products we purchase, all of which are polluted and poisoned for profit by corporations. We need to take back our governments and force corporations to be good, responsible, law-abiding citizens. Otherwise, they will continue to murder us with impunity.
