    It is pretty sad when national symbols are for the exclusive use of a private entity. The Federal Reserve Bank (not the Treasury) are the ones you are talking about, and they are a private entity.

    Is it any worse than a government-funded boondoggle of foreign oil? Perhaps the hydrogen is generated by burning oil, dogs, or babies... but that isn't the pipeline's fault. Someday the hydrogen could be made by cleaner schemes, and the infrastructure could already be in place.

    This part made me laugh though:

    Toyota also helped them

    But

    all of which was funded by the government

    it is hard to argue against the idea of the "Amber Alert", but everyone should go read up about the false alarms and abuses of the system.

    i know you and your friends sit around bitching about the evil corporations and oppressive government (while voting democrat, ironically), worried about contrails while self-medicating with a hooka, but please explain to the group which judges and doctors have been bought off.

    Actually, the energetic particle or wave must be capable of knocking electrons off of atoms or molecules. This creates free radicals.

    Breaking chemical bonds? Where did you get that?

    The energy of the particle is defined by the frequency, not the amplitude. Intensity has nothing to do with it. IR, no matter how intense, is still IR and non-ionizing.

    Einstein was a physiologist?

    UV-A is non-ionizing. It can contribute to skin cancer thru indirect DNA damage. UV-A creates highly reactive chemical intermediates, such as hydroxyl and oxygen radicals, which in turn can damage DNA.

    Collagen fibers are damaged by UV-A.

    You (and all the people who refuse to even consider the possibility) sounds a lot like the AGW-deniers who refuse to even consider it. It IS possible that there are biological processes, even minute ones, that are effected by radio waves. Maybe it is indirect, who knows. You don't know either way.
