EMF

No, we’re not going to resurrect “Unbelievable” (let it die, please). Nor are we going to try to get you on the G. G. Allin bandwagon (EMF isn’t the place to start, trust me — try Freaks, Faggots, Drunks & Junkies instead). This area is solely for discussion of the longstanding and contentious issue of the harmful effects of electromagnetic fields…

The EMF debate goes on, with no ‘definitive’ resolution either way. On one hand, there is ample evidence of the negative effects of EMF on biological systems. On the other hand, there are a large number of people who discount many of the more dire assertions of the anti-EMF crowd, casting such people as something like obsessive conspiracy theorists.

The situation may be compared to the status of tobacco in the 1940s and 50s; there was a general consensus that it was probably bad for you in one way or another, and preliminary studies had been done to support that belief, but a large percentage of the population — perhaps even a definitive majority — kept smoking with few real motivating reservations. In the same way, nearly everyone you see today has a cell phone (some are even playing online slots on them!), and nearly everyone has made a joke here and there about it causing brain tumors.

The nature of the Internet is such that looking for the answer may be the least effective way of finding it. Oh, you’ll find plenty of information — and some it may even be properly scientific and objective. But you’ll find a lot more opinion, whether it’s opinion expressed as such, or disguised as information.

We’d like to serve the cause of rationality, if possible, and provide you with the means to make up your own mind — rather than pelt you with propaganda to make you agree with my opinion (I do have one, as we all must, but I’ll try as hard as possible to keep it from coloring the presentation).

In that spirit, I should also confess before we get going that this site is not 100% free; every once in a while, you may see a link or an ad (such as this one, for online casino usa). None of the sponsors or affiliates has given me any directives or official positions on EMF, but I’ll certainly forgive you if you consider commercial influence to affect veracity, and encourage you to take everything here and everywhere else with a grain of salt (it’s all part of keeping an open but critical mind).
