The Silent War
What happens if a cardealer wittingly sells a car with damaged breaklines?
If cought high penalty or even jail.
What happens if a food factory wittingly sells contaminated food?
If cought high penalty or even jail.
What happens if a company wittingly sells high poisonous insecticides?
Not much. 'Everyone knows' how to use them.
What does that company when their product because of many casualties is banned in one
contry? They ship it to the next, where it is not jet banned. (Velsicol: Phosvel banned in Columbia, shipment goes to El Salvador)
Same Story: Parathion (E605) banned all over Europe is one of the most dangerous insecti-
cides all over the world. 80% of all lethal intoxications because of this in Central America.
It is still in use there. Where comes our food from?
What happens? Nothing, except some deaths.
Leptophos is similar toxic. Not allowed in the USA. But about $ 4 Mill to ship it to about 50
other countries. Declared as AID!!
And finally: There is a country where the government is cleening all the government buildings from asbestos because it is so dangerous and carcinogen. No one in this importend establishment wants to work in a dangerous environment. But the same government insists on keeping the asbestos mines alive and sells that dangerous stuff to
other countries. (They should know how to use it)
You know that country?
What happens?
Nothing!
Is that a new kind of war? A silent one?
About Nature and things I see, I am wondering about, specifically about us.

Remember - Live longer
I got a nice Christmas Greeting from my niece in Oregon: picture of her family and a report or summery of the last year, all the events important to her and the family.
That made me thinking about remembering what happened the last year when you just enter the next one.
Every year of our life is in a kind of box in our brain. If you don't keep track of it, may be in writing or at least in a pile of pictures, then that box is empty.
See the impression, that a year made on you as a more or less long stretch of a line. A well remembered year would be a long stretch and an other one with no events kept in mind would be a very short one and so on.
And there are some years or times that you try to cut out of your life, that shortens the length of that line.
But watch that line in retrospective: that is your life! If you are able to remember as much as possible, or call it back by reading your notes as my niece does it or looking at old pictures and also face some bad years, that makes your life-line longer.
Than you can say: I had a long history, a long life with so many events worth to remember.
Happy New Year to every one!
And try to keep your 'life-line' as long as possible!
