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. http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/prion-disease. I love my radiation devices but do they love us? Hopefully everyone learned something about radars yesterday...
