People wonder why there is more cancer and disease in the world today. Much of the information on how radiation affects us is not disseminated worldwide probably because it would send the world into a state of panic. Due to of all of the atomic testing that has happened on planet Earth since the fifties and the radioactive waste (from the military and nuclear industries) we are virtually living in a soup of isotopes that we cannot see with the naked eye. But it affects us, I find it alarming how people don't question why so many young people are getting cancer, or losing the function of their thyroids. All connected to exposure to radioactivity.

Now this is just a common sense question here but why do you think with all the years and years we have donated or raised money for cancer research there is no cure for cancer and it seems to becoming worse, more widespread and killing younger and younger people. Because its an industry that feeds unto itself which is actually using radioactive isotopes in the curing of cancer. Great! This is only my opinion but couldn't all this money we are raising be better used to clean up the environment we are living in so we don't get cancer in the first place. I lost a sister to cancer and would not donate one dime to the cancer society, and my sister wouldn't have it any other way.

If we didn't make bombs in the first place (or guns) then they would never get into the hands of the wrong people, whomever's definition of the wrong people you want to adhere to.
