While it has been suspected for some time that cell phones may cause tumors there has been considerable debate over the subject. Telcos and phone makers taking the anti health risk stance for obvious reasons.The phone companies have put large sums of money into reaserch to tell them and us that the phones themselves are harmless. It looks now as if an independant? researcher has added to the body of evidence that there is in fact a real risk. To temper that however it appears you have to be a pretty heavy user to be at risk. Interestingly the mobil phone towers them selves seem to escape the scruting that the handsets have been subjected to.
I can remember the heady days of John Glenn in Freedom Seven, the Gemini missions and the mind blowing Apollo missions. They were very exiting times for me as a high school student back then. The whole world stopped to watch Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. The picture quality was crap but no one cared. This was the most monumental event in human history.There was a lot of very nasty shit going on then too, Vietnam and the the cold war being just two examples. JFK was accused of trying to distract the public from the troubles of those days. Maybe he was. All that stuff becomes unimportant in the big picture. Man has always explored and always will. There may not be a USA , as you know it, if it weren't for Christopher Columbus, or an Australia if it weren't for James Cook. Almost the entire planet was opened up by explorers who took risks and those who believed they could do it. I hope that those of you who weren't luck enough to be around for the moon landings will get as much exitement out of it as I did. Good or bad for better or worse mankind will allways be an explorer.
