Beijing (CNN) -- More than 200 children have elevated levels of lead in their blood caused by a battery plant near their communities in eastern China, state media said.

  There is one thing about dealing with a corporation.  You will end up broke, poisoned and dead and they will end up rich and buying another Republican Congressman.
