Mark,

I understand and I agree with you. Nature thrives around a balance, any
chronic source of upset/pollution, be it chemical or electromagnetic, can
throw that out of balance. A little poison is good for you...

When I first started mapping wildlife disease two years ago, I mapped
chronic wasting disease (CWD) in deer near radar stations (all of the maps
are on my blog) with a link on my menu.

A university PhD candidate emailed me and told me that chronic wasting
disease is a possibly a type of Protein/Prion disease

http://www.cwd-info.org/index.php/fuseaction/about.main
Infectious agents of CWD are neither bacteria nor viruses, but are
hypothesized to be prions. Prions are infectious proteins without
associated nucleic acids.

I love my radiation devices but do they love us?

Hopefully everyone learned something about radars yesterday...
