The fertilizer facility wasn't a plant or manufacturing site. It was a privately owned blending and distribution company that provided fertilizer for the local farmers. They had fewer than 10 employees and didn't make anything other than mixes of previously produced fertilizer products. Calling this corporate is like comparing the guy that cuts my lawn and plows the driveway to Monsanto.

And martial law declared? That's some really lame rhetoric there.

I know the definition of martial law. Obviously you don't know me. lonestarnot Apr 2013 #5

If you know the definition, why did you make such an obvious mistake? onenote Apr 2013 #9

It wasn't a mistake. It was intentional. House in place euphemism. lonestarnot Apr 2013 #13
