I've been chronicling and doing research on the very negative aspects of industrial society for years. But still, like most of us, I wanted to believe that things are getting better. It didn't jibe well though -- I didn't really "buy it." I kept having these lingering thoughts, "this can't be right." Well, it's not. Not only has cancer incidence increased dramatically, there has also been a concerted effort -- part of the war on our right-to-know -- to keep this information and knowledge that we need for self-protection from us. It will be interesting to see how Junk Science and the American Council On Science and Health attempt to distort these new findings to fit their anti-environmental agendas. It will also be interesting to see how major environmental groups and our government responds now that we know about this sham. -- Mike Links: http://www.mapcruzin.com/news/rtk101702b.htm +++++++++++++++++++++ Michael R.
