- If it was true that the more diluted something is the more powerful it is
- then please explain why people in mexico city are dyeing from polution
- *because it is so concentrated* and people in the NWT in Canada are not
- dyeing from polution (where there is almost zilch).
-
- And if this was true we'd be paying companies to pollute the atmosphere
- because until the industrial revolution we'd all have been suffering from the
- incredibly diluted amounts of lead in the air, (same with arsenic etc..) and
- we'd all have had radiation burns from the radioactive elements deep within
- the planet. If dilution makes things stronger then I dare you to walk through
- Chernobyl and stop by the reactor.. Check out the damaged core..

- GET REAL! The less of something the more powerful it is? Astrology has more
- of a rational base than that! Why do you fall for this stuff? Religion isn't
- enough of a crutch for you? You're a con-man's dream.. Most people only get
- fooled by things that sound reasonable, you'd be a piece of cake!
-
- P.S. Want some Super-Nova insurance? If this side of the galaxy gets
- destroyed by a superheated ball of plasma I'll reimburse you for all property
- damage that you suffer.
