We are the Gov't and we are here to help!
Two teaspoons of mercury were found in the road that leads into an apartment complex. It cost local, state, and the federal governments $50,000 to clean up less than an ounce of this catastrophe. Read the EPA report here.
For the record I once worked on EPA contracts as a contractor. If they would have used a contractor on the Emergency Responders contract list the cost would have been half that!
Here in Oregon I would have just scooped it up in a sample tube and gave it to a local prospector to use!
This is a picture of the clean up crew:
The use of compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) will soon be mandatory in the United States. And CFLs contain what? That is correct boys and girls MERCURY.
Just imagine the cost for you to clean up a broken light bulb. And your home owners insurance will not cover it; ever since Brockovich and her mold issue the insurance companies have added addition exemption for the word "environmental contaminants".

"Incidents" like this are the fruits of a country run by lawyers and inhabited by ignorant sheep. The killing spree option is looking more attractive by the day.
