Depleted uranium is a threat to all life on the planet.
WE'RE GONA HIT THE JACKPOT REAL SOON
Why You Should Worry More About DU than Allergies


This morning I flipped on the Tube to the Weather Channel to see what we're having today. In the minute before the local weather, so they had a commercial (natch!) and it was about a [locomotive] air conditioner that would get rid of practically all] of the allergens in your house!"

"Most households," they said, "Have five times more allergens than the air outside."

Help! We live in the good ol' misty, moisty South, and that's a heap of allergens.

It started me thinking. It's been years, but I used to have to take allergy shots when I moved here to Louisiana. No wonder! Mostly the shots were for dust mites and pollens. Also dogs and sea food.

I started out having to go TWO TIMES A WEEK, but after a while, I "graduated" to only once a week. I came home after they gave me the tests, and had seen how dusty my house was. (So, THAT'S why I never liked to dust!) I dusted the whole house top to bottom, wearing a mask, and now I always put on a mask when I do it. And, I covered my bed with those special sheets you get to keep the do-do from the dust mites from getting to you--yes! that's what it really is!

I would sit in the doctor's office on my way home from work until they called me and did their thing with the needles. Needless to say, I wasn't real thrilled about it (Yipes! I HATE needles!). Finally, I got tired of getting stuck every week, or went on a trip or something, and stopped going. But, I guess the shots must have worked, because I don't get hay fever in the spring the way I used to.

So, I watched the ad, thinking about all those other people who are still crazy with allergies...


But you see, depleted uranium isn't like that.

You can't get shots that will make it go away. Once you've been exposed to it, you're a WALKING CORPSE.

And guess what. It's in the global atmosphere. We're ALL dead men walking.

There's no shots to help you get over it, like I said.

And worse.

Once you've been exposed, you--or your wife, if you're a man--have a two in three chance of having KIDS THAT ARE DEFORMED. I mean REALLY deformed.

Do you want to go through nine months of pregnancy and give birth to a ... uh ... blob? A monster? Have you SEEN the pictures of those babies in Iraq and Afghanistan? No eyes, an eye in the middle of the forehead? Their guts pokin' out through the skin, instead of tucked inside like they're s'posed to be?!!

The lucky ones die.

By that yardstick, we are all gonna be lucky in another few years.
