I'd love to repeat them, but then I'd be without internet for a week or two. Decisions, decisions! On a serious note; how different can this be from the research for mobile phone interfering with nature??

At the risk of being down-voted, are we risking the same threat that one of these prosecutors would also take their life? Put yourself in the position of someone who voted. How would you feel if they took their lives, as a consequence of th
