.......Christopher:
A vote with the above question among spin-doctors would still lead to
everyone voting 'Yes' (i.e. EMFs are harmless), because
- they want that the ballot result will be a 'Yes' vote,  and
- they know that even if they vote 'Yes', their children/grand children
  will NOT have to grow-up living alongside power lines.
