These by-products are highly carcinogenic even in small amounts. " So, chlorine itself doesn't cause cancer, but since it's in our tap water, it throws off chemicals that do. So, why do we tolerate this danger? Because untreated water is itself very dangerous. We would die young of some waterborne disease if the water weren't treated with chlorine. So, we accept the possibility of dying of cancer later in life rather than dying young from something in the water.  No, we can'...

Question: Why does Trump seem to want to annex Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal?

Question:  Why does Trump seem to want to annex Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal?  - D. Tod It's hard to figure out what's going on with Trump. Maybe he really wants to do this for his Legacy . Maybe it's just more of his usual bluster and nonsense. In any case, this will all go the way of his Wall that Mexico will pay for:  bringing back manufacturing, repealing Obamacare, 4% economic growth and so forth. Most of his plans involve factors beyond his control and will never happen.
