We need to have discipline in our nature or else this world will never see again some organisms.

I think we need to solve this problem before the coming of the year 2018.

Comment on Corn Subsidies: How Congress is shortchanging our health by Keith

The nitrogen used as fertilizer, mostly as NH3, is NOT the nitrogen which enters the Gulf of Mexico. Nitrogen is a non-mineral fertilizer and natural sources are from bacterial decomposition of organic material. Nitrogen in water has a very short half-life, eventually reducing to nitrogen gas in the water column.

While phosphorous WAS a serious eutrophication agent when it was used in detergents, the same does not hold for nitogen. Phosphorous is a mineral fertilizer and as such, cannot turn into a gas and leave the ecosystem. Furthermore, it cannot be fixed from the atmosphere like nitrogen.

Those claiming the “dead zone” is due to nitrogen runoff are guilty of extremely bad science. The dead zone is a natural result of mixing of freshwater with the saltwater in the Gulf.

Hence, partly what postmodernism is Krishna!

Comment on The Truth About Cell Phone Radiation by Ger

Ger — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 20:35:02 +0000

Hi to all of the writers and readers. In the Republic of Ireland,(where we have the highest mobile phone (cellphone) usage per capita in western Europe), the dangers of over use are becoming aparent but still largely ignored by the majority of people. The term ‘luddite’ is used if you dare criticise their usage, especially among children.
In our country when legislation for the licencing of mobile phone companies was going through our parliament (at surprising speed-without broad debate), the government allowed the provision of mobile phone masts or antennae on the actual site of every police station in the state, despite the fact that they are there on behalf of ‘private’ companies.Nobody blinked an eye.

The use of mobile phones I think, must be one of the biggest revenue providers for the state coffers since cigarrettes , (which have obviously declined in proft-making ability because of our brilliant smoking ban in work places and bars etc.)
this is no doubt less likely to be criticised in our current economic climate of job losses etc.
We owe it to our children’s future to do what we can in a small way, if we are even remotely concerned about their health.
Electromagnetic energy in high doses is known to cause people to develop conditions and illnesses that they may be genetically pre-disposed to.This is not some airy notion but has a scientific basis. I am not a scientist but neither am fooled by the reports and statistics that companies that exist to make profit will bring out to cloud this most serious issue which the too many of us seem to ignore.
At our peril we will continue to tolerate this systemic pollution.

Best wishes to all,
Ger

I stumbled on your website because I was looking for Cloverfield images, but I thought this was really interesting and wanted to comment. It’s a shame that your doctor discounted what you had to say about Yazmin, because depression and/or anxiety can be a serious side effect of any birth control pill. When I first went on the pill, my doctor warned me to stop taking it immediately if I started to feel depressed.

I’ve been on microgestin for several years, and it’s worked well for me. I’ve been tempted by these Yazmin commercials, but I think I’ll stick with what I’m on. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I’ve actually experienced similar symptoms (anhedonia, insomnia, anxiety/panic attacks) from being on corticosteroids, namely prednisone, for long periods of time. I’ve been on fairly high courses of steroids at different times over the last 10 years, and it’s happened frequently enough that I kind of expect it and have almost gotten used to it.

Both of these classes of drug have significant impact on hormone production and efficacy, though I suspect that the testosterone levels might be a coincidence and not the problem (I’m male and if my libido levels during these periods are any indication, my testosterone production is fine). If I were you, and this problem persists or presents itself in the future, you would want to see an endocrinologist. They would definitely have the knowledge and tools to help sort this out.

Intruiging title for the post. However, the post is a bit nebulous. Like I don’t see the connection between the taxi story and postmodernism.
