Antifreeze

["Al Powell" <APOWELL@agcom.tamu.edu>]

Relative to the following note - the so-called "green" antifreezes 
(environment, not dye...) are actually (according to what I have 
read) almost as poisonous as the standard ones.  An animal just has to 
ingest more of the stuff for it to be harmful.  Still nothing to leave around 
in the open - NOT to imply that any of us would do so.

IMHO, the "safety" claims are mostly bogus.
