Brighton group rejects ESR assurance on cell tower | Otago Daily Times Online News : Otago, South Island, New Zealand & International News

A critic of those worried about cell tower radiation claims the worry is akin to fairy tales and that it is about stories rather than facts!

The real problem is the psychological one for which there is a real cost.

Essentially, the critic is saying that people who believe in fairies should move away from cell towers. Would it were so easy?  Might it not be better just to keep cell phone towers away from fairy land, a place where people don't have worries about radiation pollution that kills fairies and the future of children who believe in them?  Might we ALSO do away with Father Christmas and all he stands for, a fairy tale?

It's not really something we put to a vote. People just want to believe in Father Christmas and don't want spoilers to destroy the illusion, whether real or imaginary.  It's important to have that peace of mind that is contained in innocence, purity, and freedom from contamination. There is a real psychological cost to pollution whether real or imagined!

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
