51 Years After the Chemical War Began in Vietnam, Be Silent, Then Take Action

3. As a teenager in the 60's

I quickly figured out Dow Chemical not only made Agent Orange but also napalm. Napalm is a particularly nasty anti-personnel weapon -- it's a gel that adheres to human skin and bursts into flame. Dow should have been charged with war crimes for this alone. Being one person and not even an adult at that time, there was not much at my disposal to retaliate against Dow so I made a vow to NEVER knowingly purchase a Dow Chemical product. Here it is, over 45 years later and I have kept to that promise -- I have NEVER knowingly purchased a Dow Chemical product.

It isn't much, I know. However, I felt good about it as there was nothing a single individual could do to stop them.
