You know I have to wonder about you. Your really something else. I have 
tried to show by using stats how things are connected. Philadelphia has not 
only one bad stat : murder but many, its almost like if someone who is 
interested in health and public education  had to choose facts in deciding 
where to live,its almost inconceivable they would choose Philadelphia.
When you look at what the news people do and dont tell you , you should be 
very suspicious about why they don't you we have f rated air and most asthma 
and respiratory illness in the country and higher morbidity incidence by a 
whopping 30 percent in some age groups and many people have no jobs and 
don't graduate and teachers say they no longer can teach and we have the 
worse murder.
over and over you will see the cities with good things have good air. ( not 
lower or higher weight gain or bad or good parent skills). I have said that 
the news media ignore the pollution issue and whatever it takes not to tell 
people about the consequences , they will do. Now Karen. You dont think drug 
companies are going to spend billions in Philly for health care commercials 
for ling and asthma because they know philadelphians are fatter then 
average?  What they do know is we get allot of days with particulate 
pollution and those who do not also don't get as many commercials for 
asthma. The people with least particulate pollution usually have better 
health and better schools etc. The degree in which I attest is completely 
correlated to the amount of particulate pollution and other pollutions they 
breathe and how often. Till they gave you the studies and comparisons  I 
talked about before. be sure its the pollution and not the weight....What I 
have seen doing deliveries and being in clean air states.. is almost 
unbelievable. You karen don't see what I have seen. I have seen tens of 
babies relatives cry non stop in bad air days, people complain of asthma, as 
oppossed to the same babies not crying on good air days. I mimick the same 
exact correlations. I have done non scientific surveys of people and age and 
times in clean air states for 10k runs and compared them to people in 
polluted air. I then made sure the people in polluted air and clean air both 
lived in retrospective cities for at least  ten years. gues s what over and 
over again the people in clean air, did better. If anything had I known more 
about their diet I could prove even more. Just know its not even close Karen 
this particulate pollution from traffic and coal and factories especially 
truck and diesel is killing people and making them sick. Being fat and 
smoking cigarettes is not good. but I am not writing this to say those 
things are not good for you. either. I am saying the comparisons to peoples 
health  who live in particulate pollution ( moderate or worse) is 
exceptionally diverse corresponding to the levels they have to breathe. 
There is no greater influence in peoples lives except diet and smoking I 
attest. This is why I think its the biggest conspiracy of all time.
