regarding the cancer, all kinds of things have led to the increased frequency of the disease... chemicals in the food supply and building materials and plastics, halides, plastic hardeners that disrupt the endocrine system, all the stuff in the bodies and interiors of cars, computers, phones, circuitry, genetically modified foods, nanomaterials in all kinds of things, these vaccines, the high carb diets of the upside down food pyramid, it's just a factor

as you know, the mistakes that happened at chernobyl would be far less likely to occur with modern reactor technology, we are nearing the point where they can make them small enough to carry on the back of a truck and power a whole large town, and almost zero risk of a meltdown

as for tv, i just generally don't enjoy watching theatre of any kind most of the time, the poisoning of it all with cultural marxism has just given me an allergy to the entire class of artform, haven't read very much fiction in a long time either, last few things i read were the william gibson sprawl trilogy (only the first two tho) and before that, years before, was Crime and Punishment

mostly i get my fix of drama from computer games, metro and tomb raider mostly
