Post by Karen Y ByrdPost by mcsMost of all you would be better worrying about all the kids who have asthma
Their parents and families are better suited to worry about it since
they are the ones being directly affected.
If you care why they might have it more then other places, one reason can be
because of where they live and air quality, after all its probably not an
acident I have complained about the air for so long and we being number one
in asthma . Their parents could not hope to know why they have it when press
ignores it so to me its called lethal dosing or state sponsered terrorism.
there is a conspiracy to actually protect people here but its not at all
surprising. F rated air is totally ignored , but hospitals and pills and
clinics to treat it are everywhere. If you don't think you have a
responsibility to look after people who thru no fault of their own will be
sick because of where they live , someone else might. . This is why its so
easy to keep posting about it, eventually my God says to me, if I save one
person from the heck I have gone thru I saved someone no one else would have
tried to save. That to me is meaningful and I alway preface that with if I
am wrong I am able to look into any rational argument. For instance, Philly
being number 20 in the US for particulate pollution. Thats not important
especially when we get more and more since that study and we get more days
then most cities in Northern Hemisphere and if people are warned about
moderate amounts or worse and studies show damage why in the heck isn't more
done and said ? This is way more important then Dononvan McNABB. Now you
think me complaining is idle waste of time, I would beg to differ.When I
first started to post four years or five years ago, no one even listened,
few groups cared about particulate pollution, or its effects. Still to
thisday more can be proved on airs damage but is not done. At least people
can see how our own govt and news can not worry about such important things?
Why? I have no clue. except from a business sense, the people who pay
salaries get more when people who are dumbed down die when they follow the
advice of weather people who say beautiful day all year in moderate or worse
air pollution.
Post by Karen Y ByrdPost by mcshere and all adults who get more then average cancer
Technically speaking one doesn't "get" cancer one "develops"
cancer because of missbehaving genes. And a lot of those
cancers are as a direct result of what these people did in their
lives which caused their DNA to go haywire.
Ok and when air is bad that contributes too. I am saying and said this
hundreds of times when everything else is the same the one distingusihing
difference is the AIR Quality
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! correlated to people
being well or sick. Its often the one distinquishing stat! amongst others.
That is, they
Post by Karen Y Byrdsmoked, they drank, they ate crap over and over and now
they're sick. It isn't always about something out of their
control and beyond their bodies. It's what they did themselves
and it's their fault. Not, necessarily, some outside
agent like pollution.
repeating this over and over. Lets assume those things contribute and you
put a plus when someone does something right and you put a minus when they
do wrong, When everything else is zero outted the pollution factor is often
what seperates the good from the bad. This is what I think needs to be
looked into the most! Its soo obvious its beyond comprehension, it borders
on lunacy to ignore it. .
Post by Karen Y ByrdMost people just have no understanding or knowledge of basic biology
so they simply have no idea how to get
a headstart on staying well. They will throw around
the term "DNA" without having any idea about its structure
and function.
To me its easy , to me its depressing Ican't escape the things that are
breaking my body down. I know the plus and negatives but do other people?
Some do , some don't and some like you don't want to know. if you believe
its effects are not important for someone else.. If you feel fine than you
think others do also? I am saying
Post by Karen Y ByrdAnd they're really too lazy to
work at maintaining their own health. They'd rather
let big pharma solve something with even more
medications. And it is work(to stay healthy) when one is bombarded by
nonsense advertising that has no other goal than
to get foolish, gullible people to buy products that
can kill them like tobacco.
Its not foolish , we live in maze and whatever we have to do to produce jobs
we do, even if people will die enmass.There reallyare not enough jobs for
the world population. I read that in real numbers besides survival for food,
40 percent plus of world population doesn't have meaningful work so in a
sense I am not surprised smart people like control of oil and like to
suppress the real data in order to sustain jobs. The result? smart people
who have money move to nice areas and Philly keeps attracting people who
don't care about the most important implications in life.
Post by Karen Y ByrdPost by mcsand finally wake up to
see thats the most important factor people ignore here.
It's all about balance which *you* ignore.
I have to live my life with whatever time I have left on this planet.
I want to enjoy part of that time as is my right as human being.
Going on crusades is not what I'm interested in and not what
I'm good at and not something I can possibly have a big affect on anyway.
The problems are just too big, too complex, cultural and generational.
Many problems are simply not going to be resolved. Ever. Because
the minute one problem might get fixed there's always another
one to replace it.
What I *can* do, to affect some good will in my
corner of the world, is to be as good an example of good citizenship
and to be as good a role to young people as I can be.
Post by mcsI don't know how
people can ignore the most important negative, the air quality and its
subsequent damage.
They ignore it because they feel that they can't do anything about it.
Or they have more immediate concerns like how to put food on their
tables.
Post by mcsRealize just like Bush influenced global warming debate
by ignoring the issue, so we do it here and in doing so we are setting up
people and family for ill health and pain.
Whatever problems they are having is also about personal habits
and bad behavior which sets them up for disease. The point is if the
air is already bad, why make things worse by smoking? In this day and
age why are so many people still smoking? It was their own personal,
idiotic, choice to start(smoking) and one can't blame air quality on
their own brand of plain stupidity.
