*Shakes head* Thing is, towns like this are relics of the time when they would build schools next to facilities that handled hazardous chemicals just because it was a convenient place to do so.
So, after all this time, it becomes obvious that the best way to safeguard the public is to separate the community from the heavy industry that deals in these hazardous substances. And this community, like many of their kind here in Texas, is a bastion of conservatism. In other words, they don't like the idea of change. Change is messy. Change is expensive. Change is different.
Of course, so are fertilizer plant explosions, but we'd rather just deal with that instead, wouldn't we? ;p
