Today’s off-topic Tuesday post reveals my one irrational, conspiracy-theory type concern…

Our children are being beamed to death!

I have brought this up with many, many people, and no one seems to share my concern. Perhaps that means it’s invalid. Or perhaps that means that all the people I talk with on the subject are head-in-the-sand ignoramuses. Tough call.

My concern stems from the fact that with every passing year, we are exposed to more and more high-frequency beams and signals. It seems almost everything is getting a signal beamed to it, and I have yet to see an authoritative sturdy concluding that the cumulative effect of radio, T.V., satellite T.V., cell phones, cordless phones, GPS, wireless Internet, surveillance cameras and so on is innocuous. Heck, they’re even installing little wireless devices at my bus stop to inform us of the location and e.t.a. of the next bus! Can all these 24-hour, incessant signals capable of passing through cement walls be completely harmless to our cells and tissues?

I don’t have any evidence that there is some cumulative effect, not even anecdotal evidence. I just have an irrational, unfounded concern. With the startling increase in childhood allergies, ailments and conditions, I have to wonder if we’re looking at absolutely all possible systemic and environmental possibilites.

They never did find out what happened to all the bees, did they?
