Vlad,
Not sure why Peggy's comment deserved such a trolllish response. I will join in her view that if we are to base our economy on competition, then the practice of exporting externalities to the neighborhoods and nations of the powerless has to stop. We have to work to find the true cost of products and that needs to be reflected in the price. Then and only then does competition rise above exploitation. I realize that this is not necessarily easy, but if one believes in the market place, it has to be done. By the way, what more do you need to know to demonstrate that cigarette smoking has associated health care costs?

Perhaps your conclusion serves some unidentified agenda, could you explain who WE is and how the PRICE TAG is adjusted to effect a specific end? I ecall how the price of cigarettes in Canada was increased to reflect the supposed increased health care costs From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of peggy miller Sent: March-24-11 6:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [FRIAM] vol 93, issue 22 Thanks for input from a number of you on the magnet/toxins/windmill issue. Seems like we need to get wind turbine price tag to include pollution mitigation at bare minimum. -- Peggy Miller, owner/OEO Highland Winds wix.com/peggymiller/highlandwinds Shop is at 1520 S. 7th St. W.
