........The following attachment was forwarded to me by Kerry Christian
 of Australia.  Has nothing to do
with EMF -- or does it??  It clearly has to do with the "value system" of
U.S. (global) industries when it come to concern (lack of) for
PEOPLE......It is kind of interesting to speculate:  what would be the
reaction of Americans if this story were reversed ... and it would be
Australian (or Chinese) nuclear waste to be dumped in the U.S???.......

P.S., guru does not identify with the "left" organizations cited below,
but "capitalists" (like the guru) need to start asking themselves about an
American 'industry/government' value system that has become so "driven" by
PROFIT considerations (and none other) THAT IT IGNORES PEOPLE.......The
"public appearance" of that U.S. "profit" ethic as viewed by 
non-Americans, I suggest, is damaging to not only U.S. international
"trade" but also to U.S. international 'foreign policy' initiatives, in
general........guru.......

I suggest that more and more Americans, too, are beginning to have doubts
about such a "skewed" value system........guru.......

Australia 'ideal' for waste dump

Australian anti-nuclear activists today expressed concern over a US promotional
video advertising Australia as an ideal location for an international nuclear
waste dump.

A leaked copy of an American company's promotional video was given to Friends
of the Earth in the UK and then passed on to Australian independent consultant
on radioactive issues, Jean McSorley.

The tape explains how nuclear waste can be shipped to Australia then brought by
rail and buried in outback Australia. It also explains how a site would benefit
the Australian economy.
