Reply #31: No place is sacred to them if they think they can turn a profit

[arikara]

I grew up in the country in northern BC without any telephone at all, long before cell phones came into existence. We did just fine. Where we live now, our cell phones don't work half the time anyhow. I'd far sooner do without the "convenience" than have more ugly towers fouling up the place.

Cellphones are powerful little microwave generators and it is just not healthy to hold something like that against your head. It really bothers me to see every kid on the street attached to one. There are more and more incidents of brain cancer in young people and even if it doesn't hit the media the health personnel who look after them know that its due to cell phone use.

I can't help thinking that effects from the proliferation of towers doesn't do people or animals any good either. I'm of the belief that some things should be left untouched. If people are going to go into the parks then they should just accept that if they get hurt they might not get help as soon as if they were in the city.
