... To be completely fair, they relied on cause and effect, which is to say that they noticed a lot of people who smoked and chewed ended up with these diseases. But deep pockets kept tangling things up until testing came along that not only showed that they caused the diseases, but the pathways, and how, and in a 100 percent unambiguous way. If we were to apply the same rationale and proof to say, falling out of airplanes at 30 thousand feet, the argument would be " Well, can you prove that the person died form the fall, or did they perhaps die of fright on the way down? Can you testify with a certainty that is what happened? As if the exact mechanism being indeterminate means the activity should be promoted, when we all know that whatever the exact cause of death, if you do fall out at that height, it ain't gonna be too happy of an ending. - 73 de Mike N3LI - You are quite correct, as are the others comments in the same direction(s.) Now, having been "burnt", in the past, by gov't, medicine, big money, power and "the media", can you look around and see these exact same tactics in use today? And, what percentage of the population is so stupid they make no use of past history which recorded these lies and so sadly demonstrated those lies ability to do much damage and death? I will give you this--I feel it is a HIGH percentage!

It's probably the old "How can there be too many people when there are so many empty spaces"? Chestnut, used by some to imply that we have alot of room to expand. The answer is simple. If the land is crowded, you can't grow the crops. If the land is in the middle of the Sahara, you can't have many people living on it. Same goes for Death Vally, Antarctica, The Canadian Arctic, jungles and on and on. In our area, Many farmers have sold off prime agricultural land for housing development. After all, "someone else" will grow the food. Problem is, the someone else sold off his land too. When the places that are inhospitible to life are taken out of the picture, it doesn't look quite so happy. - 73 de Mike N3LI - |

How about we propose some experiments in which we put up a tower, and grow crops around it, to see if the radio waves promote the crop growth? I'll try the experiment with Barley and hops.... ;^) - 73 d eMike N3LI - |

Just for kicks, we could patch in some genes to apple, peach and pear trees too, so it wouldn't be a total ecological loss. Ed, NM2K |

Ed Cregger Without looking any further, it is on the map Ed. ---------------- When I left home for the first time in 1966, I was headed for Lackland AFB in San Antonio, TX. It was my first passenger jet experience and was a direct flight from Philadelphia (yeah, I'm that old). I was astounded at all of the open land beneath the plane and as far as I could see. All thoughts of over population left my mind for a few decades. Now a days, I have a little better idea of how much Earth it takes to support just one average American living our current average life styles. It takes a lot of land to support one of us when you factor in all of the things that we consume. Me, I don't want to give up a single damned thing. So, the answer seems obvious to me. We must put a halt to our expanding population until our technology advances more and provides us with some solutions. Is this written in stone? Of course not. Would I restrict anyone else's ability to procreate, based upon my impression? No, not at all. But I think it would be nice if we could at least talk it over on the net and on TV without the religious folks becoming rabid and incensed (sp?). As though that could ever happen...8) Ed Cregger |
