This type of person would be the first to complain when coverage goes out!

Given what he did, maybe he was right. Personally I'm more worried about those massive power pylons.

Back in the day when I had a 30 watt 2 way radio on a gutter mount next to my head, they told me that I would probably become sterile from the radiation, my kids are fine thanks.

When this poor soul had a head injury I'm sure what his brain was being hurt by the cell towers. I'm very senitive to electric, yes these towers hurt me to, I have tools to survive. As our world become more polluted more people will become senitive. Telecommunication is like the oil war lords, be very scared, it about money. I want the people to telecommuncate, our given right in the golden age. Just because cell phone bring you such joy dosn't mean that they are good for you and the planet. Please read by Blake Levitt Eletromagnetic Fields and other books. Please act in love this man is hurting by something you can't see.

Be Happy

The phrase "surfing the Internet" was first popularized in print by Jean Armour Polly, a librarian, in an article called Surfing the INTERNET, published in the University of Minnesota Wilson Library Bulletin in June, 1992. Although Polly may have developed the phrase independently, slightly earlier uses of similar terms have been found on the Usenet from 1991 and 1992, and some recollections claim it was also used verbally in the hacker community for a couple years before that. Polly is famous as "NetMom" in the history of the Internet.
