I read it in the Guardian!

This is total cowplop. A report in The Guardian links pollutants to a three-fold increase in brain diseases since 1970!

The Red Guardian is always ready to print any anti industrial propaganda that it can, so obviously some questions were left unasked:

Do you suppose we are just seeing an increase in diagnoses? As I remember the state of neurological evaluation was somewhat dismal back in the 70's

Could it just be that more people are surviving long enough to develop neuro-cognitive failure?

What about the fact that pollutant levels have decreased remarkably in most industrialized countries over that same period?

There are lots of brain diseases at the Guardian! That's for sure.

Do you really think we'd be better off huddled around a fire, in a cave, half naked, and living in perfect harmony with nature?



In this fellow's day, The Guardian was campaigning against fire, and flint tipped clubs.
