Dirty Air
I saw a special over the weekend on how the rates of asthma and allergies are rising all over the world, every year. They danced around not understanding (or pointing fingers) at what was causing this to happen. It's simple, pollution. It'll be too late to fix the problem when enough people get sick where people (and the government) can't avoid it. Everyone ignores it until you can say pollution is the cause. I'd say the main polluters are automobiles and industry. I was in Amsterdamn where most of the city rides bikes and the air is cleaner, noticeably so. The world will have to figure out some answer in the next 20 years. I don't see the people of the US all riding bikes (where obese already BUT maybe that's the way to change). We'll come out with a non-polluting car before we exercise! It seems like everyone is raising a child with asthma or allergies now so people will get sick eventually of catering to sick people. When will everyone notice?
