[Antennas] RF Exposure.. Hoooey....or otherwise

[Chris BONDE]

Oh, halleluya!

If I have a hole in my muffler and drive downtown the cops are on me!  But=
=20
if someone has a stero going so loud that one cannot converse at the stop=20
traffic light that is OK.

Long time ago a great gift was a flat 50.  Now, it is 4 2l of a cola drink,=
=20
or a getto blaster.  I wonder if the producers of the cola drink and the=20
blasters will be sued as the cigarette manufacutrer are now.

I hope that some of those cars fall apart before I do, or after I am on the=
=20
highway.

TANX u made my day!
