High above, in my suburban work-perch, I can see another fire at what I presume to be the Packard. It was on fire for a while yesterday as well.

We have all heard about the health risks of taking it down, but what about the health risks out allowing it to stand and burn?

How do we do it? How do WE take this thing down?

By WE I mean the people, not the city or the owner. Can WE contact the EPA and ask for federal intervention? Would doing so allow us to side step all the local bureaucracy and finger pointing?

Or should we simply accept the fact that our lords and ladies know what's best for us as a thin veil of asbestos covers the land?
