Guest guest Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 Morning Frank, >Out of 900+ members only a very few members responded. I did not reply because others stated an opinion similar to mine. There is no way to escape the fact that political information effects our health, some of it more directly that others. Actually, I think all politics effects our health, some of it has immediate effect and some long term effect. For example, I am now studying Prions disease. This item is potentially the bubonic plague of the century. The political maneuvers may even be worse than the scientific blunders. Here is a short example............. ( with names removed ) A few years ago, a twin engine plane crashed near Calhoun, Georgia. Initial reports said tissue samples onboard were headed to CDC in Atlanta. An immediate retraction was issued including a statement by the CDC that NO tissue samples were on board and the cargo was NOT headed to the CDC. I was there and the labels were clearly addressed to the CDC in Atlanta. Some of the packages were broken open or partially burned. I could see tissue and bones. Makes you wonder. ----------- In summary, I feel that related political information is vital to our health. Deciding what is related requires decision making. Most of our list members are good at doing that. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
