Ukraine crisis: Russians storm Odesa police station, free 70 activists - World - CBC News

Bringing High-Speed Internet to Cajun Country | Blog, News & Notes | BillMoyers.com

Bill Moyers has his head screwed on and sees the dangers of excessive domination of the communications sector by unethical firms. The story is quite frightening considering past successes of the industry in controlling government. 

We are fortunate to have fibre coming to the home. In one bedroom in my house, I have high wireless contamination day in day out. Its really unbearable causing all sorts of head, eye and ear issues. Moved to another room in the house with lower amounts of radiation and can get a much better sleep. What still concerns me is that with all the evidence building up about the dangers of very low level radiation in amounts most readers of this email will daily experience, there is not an outcry of fear about cancers and other long term issues down the road while the numbers of deaths in the community peaks as forecast. At farm locations, Dairy cattle produce less milk and earthworms struggle for existence while scarce natural life is wiped out in several hours. 

Who is responsible? You and I are. We allow this appalling wireless pollution in our neighbourhoods 24/7 without relief while looking the other way.

Now the FCC in America is under threat from the various 'Bell' complexes seeking to control development of the Internet for the sole benefit of these organised commercial ventures that work on the cheap while endangering working people increasingly dependent on poor poor service describes as the only alternative. Such while they have armies of lawyers to defeat non polluting options. 

Its not paradise...

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!
