Closed minds troubling

There was a time when most everyone believed the world was flat. Wouldn't
even entertain the idea that it could be round.

Research and open minds bring forth new information.  It seemed to me that
the light theory was being brought forth as something to explore and
research.  We have evidence that sunshine and floresent lighting can
increase the growth of cataracts. Maybe it has other effects too.  Why not
keep our minds open?

As for insecticides and other materials sprayed continually on the crops, I
think that is of great concern.  Much of that runs off into the streams and
into the watershed.  NOW the farmers have started the no-till method and the
spraying is more intense.  They spray the fields, instead of plowing, and
then seed the unplowed field.   That means the spraying is even more lavish
and more poison to run into the underground supply and our wells.
This is not idle speculation, as I live in a rural community among the large
farms.  I watch this poison being spread more and more liberally on the
fields.  When it rains, it has to go somewhere, doesn't it?
On windy days I have to stay indoors, to avoid ingesting it from the air
while they spray.

For many years farming has been a major source of pollution, mainly
fertilizer.

Bush just now is trying to cap farm subsidies at $250,000 so to still
help small farms, but the old establishment media slammed him for it.
You can bet when there's a 2 cent increase in the cost of wheat per loaf
that causes a 90 cent increase at the grocer that Bush will be blamed

There is good reason to suspect any actions by the "Shrub" as he has
consistantly opted to help the rich,  and take from the poor and middle
class.

eveline and Wilcox,

This thread is off topic for a cancer support group. If there are closed
minds in the group it is yours. Are you trolls or malcontents trying to
disrupt this newsgroup? I would be happy to put you on a troll list if you
like.

Please take your poison and political comments to an appropriate
newsgroup. I am sure they will entertain your drivel. Otherwise, the topic
here is cancer support, and it would be nice to see some positive
contributions from you.

Jerry, i'm pretty sure pollution in foods is related to cancer.

I think it is very supportive to be examining what is carcinogenic in
our surroundings,  and even more supportive to look at how we can take
control of that and make changes; no matter how small or halting.

Some of us, like Eveline, are health care professionals and it is a
very real part of our ethic that we promote health, not just treat
disease.

This is an unmoderated group, so no one should think they can tell
others what to post, read, think here.

You are just another poster, and  if you do not wish to think about or
discuss certain topics, do not enter that thread. There are other
threads.

It is supportive, and empowering, to want to explore life. And thank
God, we have life yet.

Who does she care for.  Patients of Dr. Kevorkian?

Yes, but we have cancer, and want help, not sarcasm.

You weren't invited here, and are really not wanted here.  You obviously
know nothing about cancer, and are spending your time, like a sadist,
trying to make fools of those of us who have looked death in the fact.  
Are you prepared to die?

How about taking your so called wisdom to alt.sci.idiots, where it belongs.
