At first Mr. Fitch's comments about the comparisons being ludicrous do seem
correct, but the truth does seem to support such comparisons.  Yesterday,
the city council was picking on other undesirable business types, but now
they are picking on the nuclear industry.  In the case of INS, they are
picking on a single business in there community.  That in itself is what is
absurd.  In there minds, the perceived INS nuisance fell in line with the
other truly undesirable businesses.
