Johan,

I know very little about EMF. In fact, I'm just this past week a high school senior and last year I didn't quite agree with AP Physics -- the subject I hate more than any other thus far. But yes, I still got an A in our public school system.

I'm not downplaying your concern. I'm just saying that from what I _heard_ from various media outlets, it ought not be a concern to most.

First, I am not really concerned myself about EMF. But I think it is a bit dangerous to compare one issue with other, completely different issues. And important not to ignore other peoples concerns.

We should have learned by now not to ignore the risks of new chemicals, tehnologies, emissons and so on. No one thought asbestos was dangerous. No one thought smoking posed a hazard. No one thought CO2 emissons could do any harm.

We do not really know for sure what the risks with magnetic fields are, and until then, we should keep trying to find out. Just the same way as we try to find out how dangerous the CO2 emissions are.

if i drove a car full of asbestos, it'd be a good comparison.

Hey, Flare, I know you were in an extremely volatile mood last night, but keep the exclamation points to a minimum, k?
