Shelf life??? Is the shelf life a proven shelf life and who determines the type to date? Be good to have built in use by dates on every motor vehicle/appliance et all, the manufacturers would just love it. They could fore tell sales and you would be in deep for not throwing away your unused car before or on the "used by date". The propping up of an economy can incorporate myriad's hidden agendas. Once the monstrosity gets momentum it is all down hill.
Working on the theory that there is more to be loosed in morale and damage by wounding than killing in a war such as anti-personnel mines that remove a foot or leg. This keeps medics going and the whole chain of events behind the medics. How much profit to stop cancer like causes of death as opposed to the drugs that can be continually evolved at the expense of all, but none to stop the actual disease/affliction. Who uses a mobile phone without a remote? What is the actual damage is done by bombarding the gray matter with VHF or UHF signals direct? Is there a warning on mobile phones or are these companies too big as well? International news articles are also de-tuned on drugs of new kinds. Have sales into places from here of a reportedly cancer reducing herbal medication. No one has picked up to say yes no nay as we are such a small insignificant country with, it seams, no news worth money to the outside world. Doug From: "D.
