      XPost: pa.politics, phl.media       From: mcsantpollution@yahoo.com              The air pollution threat may be invisible, but it is real-we know it can       sicken, and we know it can kill," said Carolyn Wisniewski, Vice President       for the American Lung Association of Pennsylvania. Wisniewski estimated that       about 400,000 persons with chronic lung disease and nearly 900,000 people       with heart disease were at special risk from air pollution in the 5-county       Southeastern Pennsylvania area.       "A large study released this month in the New England Journal of Medicine       documented that children living in polluted areas have a five fold greater       risk of decreased lung function," said Dr. Joel Chinitz with Philadelphia       Physicians for Social Responsibility. "This impairment occurred independent       of asthma or smoking."                            --       the goal when communicating is to rationzlize existence with truth and       facts and what is right coupled with getting what we desire (which might not       always be what is right)       Facts are often hidden so rich control options       Sometimes feelings are not accurate and sometimes they are. Lets learn to do       better based on truth, honesty and facts and the desire to do good              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
