[ RadSafe ] Keeping an open mind

[Edmond Baratta]

Those who are for the new 'religion' of Global Warming are using it to make 
a profit, i.e. Gore, and the Governments who wishes to make our lives 
miserable.  I can't believe that the Government is sponsoring the mercury 
(Hg) laden light bulbs.  Previously, they forbade the fluorescent lights 
that  contained beryllium (Be).
