ok, my family history.. we have. strokes, brain tumours, cancer of almost ever part of the body, we have alcoholics, drug takers, we have genetic deafness one branch, we have epilepsy, we have genetic asthma, erm, we have a few learning disabilities on my uncles side. (severe malformation of birth), erm.. and thats just my side, rowans its roughly the same.
now where i live st helens in the north west of england has a higher mutation level, and birth defects than the Norm, why because we used to be a chemical producing town, lead, arsenics,strychnine all used in the glass making industry, plus alkaline salts, plus heavy metals .
now this is just me and my home town, this is another reason why, no kids.

and What about the chemical weapons factory in Sutton Oak, St Helens, Lancs. This was known locally as the poison gas works and was a 35 acre site which produced chemical weapons until after WW2.
so the waste chemicals, nasty things leech out of the soils, in some places the puddles of rain water turn brown like gravy, with the chemicals and this is after 50 or more years..

Voltaire said: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
H.L.Mencken wrote:"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.â€
