this stuff is so crazy and so much 'hype' about the dangers of
cellphones and wireless that a little town south of me
"MENDOCINO" california ran the local WISP out of town when he started
installing radios, will not let cell towers be built within view of
the town, and tells people with cell phones to NOT BRING THEM TO TOWN
WITH THEM.

Mendocino even made 'wired magazine' over this BS

The local school district was going to the the WISP and they stopped
that, two teachers are out of 'medical leave' because they can not be
arround a television or computer monitor. what a place to be a 'tree
hugging teacher' on medical disability.

I guess you give the 'tree huggers' and inch and they will take all
they can get,

The one real funny thing is that if you take 'NETSTUMBLER" to town and
drive around you will see 30-40 access points running in an area of
about 2miles x 2 miles (and about 1/2 of them are open for anyone to
use on the internet because they are connected to DSL).. I guess what
"they' don't know won't hurt them, hehe
