#1 "Stommel enlisted students to punch the street addresses of about 200 of his ALS patients into Google Earth" May other problems show up as well.
This information is hard to secure for the average person because of patient privacy. When a toxic waste dump is discovered to be a cause of illness in any community it takes time to discover. Should a person be able to plot the hot spots then the alarm will sound. I did this myself and had so many stick pins in my wall map you couldn't see the streets in some concentrated populated areas. Take your pick, brain cancer, ALS, MS, birth defects and Lung cancer. Yes, higher populated areas stood out but small communities also. Just for information sake for myself. Nothing to prove. When you went to purchase a new home in a new area I wonder if you new some of the medical history would it impact your decision. Then also I was a big time fresh water swimmer, lakes , rivers and ponds. O well you gotta die of something.

#3 Weren't we all blue-green algae in the primordial swamps? Isn't it just part or who and what we are?

I certainly remember Q taking Jean Luc back to Pond #1.
