56. A propaganda consideration: I look at every announcement that comes
Edited on Sat May-21-05 08:50 PM by higher class
out like this as a potential propaganda message. Sometimes it only takes seconds to figure how some entity, particularly the government or military or banking or corporations or reverends, will profit or benefit from the message.

The possibilities inherent in this one is that the association named in the article probably has AMA members, AMA members are fine partners with pharma corporations. AMA and corporations are tight friends with the right wing.

This administration could benefit from this 'finding' by diminishing the dreadful affects today and tomorrow from global warming. If global warming causes harmful exposure at the one end or sends people inside out of fear or caution on the other...global warming stays in a negative spotlight for lousy decisions and denial by this administration. There can be serious repercussions for business, insurance, litigation, and hiring and hiring costs. So why not have an association come out and say the SUN IS GOOD FOR YOU so that this association can be quoted in litigation cases or claim disputes. This message could signal an even worse scientific findings about the harmful affects.

I'm not a scientist, but if astronomer-scientists believe there are holes in the ozone where they hardly existed before and they've been saying it for awhile, and if statistics show that sun exposure cancers are rising (I'm unsure), we have to decide for ourselves.

We know that the right wing admin can get nearly anyone they want to say whatever they want said. So, it depends on who else backs up this finding and who they are and who their affiliations and loyalties are with (and who they contributed to).

P.S. How is business affected? All outdoor active and passive sports, resort travel, hiring limitations and risks for three.

One article is not going to send me to the park for a sun snooze instead of a shade snooze. Instead, I'm going to start paying more attention to the ozone findings.
