The latest lie is that wood stove and fireplace burning is extremely detrimental to your health. People, stop being so gullible and think hard, look at all the locals that have lived here all their lives-some well into their 90s. They, as well as all humans for the last 6,000 years have lived with wood smoke. Our locals in addition have grown up during the rice burning and smudge pot years. Why don't you wood burning-a-phobics worry about how fat and sanitary you and your children are. Your alcohol use and
your SUVs are polluting the air daily, not just during the winter months. All those things are the real killers of today's society."
