classic Marco. Compare to the flat, dreary dreck Stuart Campbell is
perpetrating on the air as I type this. (And I share Daney's perspective
and joy when someone pops up with an explanation.)<br />Nevertheless, classic Marco belongs on county-wide Mendocino County radio. <br />
Stuart Campbell, now the chairman of the Bored of Directors of KZYX/Z,
who replaced the much better radio makers John Sacowitz and Norman de
Vall on Friday morns. Rather than facilitating inclusion in the
choosing of a new general manager for KZYX (or the revamping of that
position needed first), Stuart is guarding the gates with run around
& rigamarole. Blast it! This is really the time to make changes and
peace. --beth bosk<br /><br />2nd try.

Daney, who is doing that? Who is "artificially concentrating <br />
radiation and beaming it at your brain?"<br />
And who is equating harmless low communication levels of <br />
non-actinic radio frequencies with the cancer-causing UV radiation from <br />
the sun?<br />
And why do you use the term /beaming/ when up to now you've used <br />
the term /blasting/? And how have you formed your idea of a measurable <br />
threshold between one and the other?<br /><br />
And why do you never rail against soap and shampoo and dishwashing <br />
liquid, which we all, and you, use daily, which have been shown to be <br />
endocrine system disruptors and a million-times-greater health risk than <br />
using a phone. Simply sitting down, for example, to type at a computer, <br />
cripples and kills. If you're worried about the negative health effects <br />
of radio communication, I hope you're standing and not sitting, and <br />
never using soap or washing dishes or clothes, nor riding in a car or <br />
even breathing air where cars drive by, or using a vacuum cleaner. Even <br />
the most expensive vacuum cleaners aerosolize nanoparticles of dust that <br />
can cause great harm. And you'll need to use only a glass toothbrush <br />
with horsehair bristles, not a plastic one, and boil it before each use, <br />
and make your own toothpaste, never buy the kind that comes in a plastic <br />
or foil tube, nor buy any food that was grown in dirt and fertilizer.<br /><br />
Shaking hands or otherwise touching to greet a friend is also a <br />
concern; no matter how hard you scrub, bacteria linger and multiply on <br />
the skin, and studies have shown that half of all adults don't even <br />
bother to wash their hands with or without soap after using a public <br />
toilet. And consider: when you smell someone, or smell a dog or a cat, <br />
or smell a skunk or sewage or bleach or a diaper or a cow field or <br />
rancid garbage, that's particles from those people and animals and <br />
things actually entering your head through the holes in front and <br />
contaminating your breathing passages-- all of it a tremendous risk and <br />
threat compared to clean, safe radio phones.<br /><br />
In real life, the danger of cell phones is to the poor oppressed <br />
miners, many of them children, living and working in hazardous <br />
conditions and political situations where precious minerals for <br />
electronic components come from. Also there's danger in giving attention <br />
to a phone conversation when you should be looking where you're going or <br />
scanning the environment to avoid predators and snookerers and wooly <br />
thinkers who can mislead you with their sympathetic-sounding blather.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
