This is a little self-serving. I went for my first bike ride
yesterday. My
allergies which had been in abeyance came back in full force. Not
pollen,
not animal dander, but from air pollution. Billions of people driving
billions of autos.

MAJOR SNIP

I fear our future is death by choking.

Researchers in France conducted a study to look at benzene exposure
and the

Well, if you worked harder, you would have the money to move somewhere
that pollution is not so bad -- as would these children (if their
parents worked harder).

You have some nerve complaining about this, when if you had things YOUR
way, shareholders in these companies, who worked hard to get the money
to invest in them, would be penalized for your laziness, by having to
cut into their profits just so that they could "clean up" their
operation.

Don't be so lazy next lifetime and you won't need to worry about this
problem.

That place is rapidly becoming extinct. Regardless. If I were to come to
your home and contaminate you and yours with toxic chemicals would the onus
be on you to move?

You have no idea how they acquired their shares. Regrdless of the manner in
which they acquired them, it still doesn't give them the right to poison
people.

My laziness? I bike for transport. You?

Yes. Why shouldn't they accept being poisoned. How dare they complain!.

What is hard work to you??? I can make plenty of money in electronics
just by 'thinking' harder but there is no work (BTU) involved. The catch
is I have to do that in someone eles' company, usually in the middle of
all the smog. Locally I can go out and pick fruit and 'work' hard but I
don't speak Spanish. I like going to a cubicle and 'working' and giving
Powerpoint presentations (yeah, right) and telling other people how to
do things and getting paid for it, but it isn't work, just a job that
pays well and I can do it while being lazy.

What are you smoking, man?? Must be some good **** but it seems to have
fried your brain.

Man,
That irritates even me.?

Here is a quote from that piece.

Infant's flesh will be in season throughout the year, but more plentiful
in March, and a little before and after; for we are told by a grave
author, an eminent French physician, that fish being a prolific diet,
there are more children born in B Roman Catholic /B countries about
nine months after Lent than at any other season; therefore, reckoning a
year after Lent, the markets will be more glutted than usual, because
the number of popish infants is at least three to one in this kingdom:
and therefore it will have one other collateral advantage, by B
lessening the number of papists /B among us.

That paragraph sort of justified it to me.
"Waiter, Get me the Fat Republican born again baby menu and some A-1.".
Obviously a Democratic fine eating establishment.

Am I famous or infamous? Not so much atpi anymore. It has kind of
withered away.

I was just venting. Something I have to do once in a while.

That McMaster study really gnaws at me. I am seriously considering moving
out of Southern Ontario. To where? I don't know, but it would have to have
less pollution and more trails.

I was reviewing my travelogue from my summer trip to NS. I realized my
allergies didn't bother me once the entire trip. I'd move back in an
instant. If only it was feasible.

Ah, well. Such is life.
