Is Wi-Fi dangerous? Pt. 2

I don't envy Elizabeth May.

A couple of tweets and she's getting it from everywhere. Sarah Boesveld of the National Post has covered the so-called wi-fi tweetstorm. So has DANIEL LEBLANC of the Globe and Mail. And many, many others.

But I think Ms. May understands coverage and criticism from the mainstream media. She might be a little surprised by how relevant the mainstream media finds her now that she's made history as Canada's first elected Green MP but she's learning.

But all that isn't the reason I don't envy her.

She's posted a thoughtful nuanced piece about her thoughts on wi-fi. It hasn't really gotten the same coverage as her 140 character tweets but at least they're out there and anyone, even green supporters, can check them out. Except it seems green supporters are her most vicious critics. Check out these lengthy, (lengthy), posts (one, two) by Sudbury Steve (Be warned, they're lengthy).

Debate is healthy in a democracy but are you really this angry about a couple tweets, Steve?

Is Wi-Fi dangerous?

Great and very detailed piece by EMay on her concern about wi-fi and other forms of radiation we are all exposed to everyday.

Long story short: it's not the green party's top priority (not even close) but it's something that should continued to be studied. Pretending that there is absolutely zero reason to be concerned is reckless.
