one of my pet peeves is balloons.  Maybe photos of animals choking and =

...........................

Good idea, Paul.



A couple of years ago, we learned of a local charity which released =
balloons to raise money to deal with local cancer issues.  I contacted =
the President, and she mentioned having searched the literature. One =
particular society in the U.S.  evidently found that latex balloons were =
less harmful than synthetic ones, but I did get the distinct feeling =
that the author had to portray them in the best light.  Same old story =
about the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, of harm in =
this case.



(Ol=E2=80=99 Don Rumsfeld had his problems, but his logic here is spot =
on!)
