    About this ebook

    A brief preface cites previous works on pollution and briefly states purpose. Chapter 1 discusses the pollution chef concept. Toxins are brought into protected bodies of water to interact with each other in such a way as to bind dangerous chemicals or break them down into non-toxic or less toxic compounds. A science to create such soups and where to put them should be created. Many manufacturing chemicals are highly reactive, making them good seed for chemical reactions. Chapter 2 proposes that vegetation and animals fill and surround the reservoirs used to detoxify the agents. These would draw up seepage into the soil and help remove toxins. Whether the animals survived or mutated would not be germane as they would all be destroyed without breeding. Lower life forms should be used to avoid anthropomorphic quibbles about harming the animals. If necessary the animals could be excluded and plants used alone. It is hoped this is economical, scientifically sound, and practical without serious side effects. Such flora could be used to help detoxify farmland as well.

    Edward E. Rochon

    I write for my health and the health of the world. Often the cure rivals the disease in grief and aches. My writing career started at twelve when I attempted to write a sequel to Huckleberry Finn but never finished it. My writings have included poetry, plays, a novel, non-fiction and writing newsletters for here and there. Recently, I am dabbling into short stories. Apart from newsletters, nothing has been published in print. I bought an audio recording of one of my poems but threw it away in disgust due to an inappropriate reading by the narrator. 'Contra Pantheism...' was my first eBook. About a hundred eBooks have been published since including some books of verse, and my essays collected into five volumes, and one volume of collected poems. A few other types of literature are on my list of published works. My essays deal with fundamental questions of philosophy as well as natural philosophy (science.) On the whole, my works are as far above the writings of Plato and Aristotle as the material power of the United States is over that of Ancient Greece. I once asked myself if I had ever written anything memorable, but couldn't remember exactly what I had written. I started to check my manuscripts but stopped as it seemed the answer to the question was obvious. Gore Vidal mentioned in one of his memoirs that writers tend to forget what they write and are a bad source to ask about their works. Gore knew a lot of writers. I have not and may have been a bit hard on myself. Apart from self-improvement and maybe making a few bucks, my main goal is to bring about a golden age for mankind. Being a man, this sounds appealing. It is pointless to desist and all small measures are worth the effort. Albert Camus thought suicide the only serious philosophical question. He was a fool and died young. Suicide is a waste of time. The most important functional question is: How do I get what I want? The one question that trumps this is the ultimate question of intent: What should I want? As Goethe pointed out: Be careful what you wish for in your youth, you might get it in middle age.
