RE: Health Hazards

On the other hand nobody has proven conclusively that microwave
is not harmful.  An idea gaining currency in Europe is that commercial
activities ought to proven safe by corporations rather than permitted
and approved, leaving the burden of proof on activists or institutions
to figure out later whether they were unsafe.  For instance see The
Genetic Takeover or "The Future of Food".

I happen to believe that wireless telecomm is so valuable it
overwhelms any side effects that are evident today.  But there
might be risks of cancer.  And there may be issues unrelated to
cancer.  The brain is an electro chemical engine.  If the operation
of the nervous system were affected, how would anybody prove it?

Finally, it is well established in psychology that biases can appear
in our thought processes as result of our occupation, our ingroup
we hang around with, and how the issues affect our pocketbook,
