Yes, mercury in fish is absolutely a health concern. For thousands of years, our ancestors have fished these waters and ate the fish and other marine life they caught and now, if we do so we are poisoning ourselves. Talk about a testimony to the times! Testimony that we are NOT headed in the right direction and haven't been ever since the industrial revolution.

According to HLN, the mercury in fish comes mainly from the burning of coal for electricity. Remember, there is no such thing as clean coal and all those advertisements you see, like the lady who doesn't want to lay off an employee if her energy bill goes up, is all just a bunch of brainwashing propaganda. Don't listen to it! Why poison ourselves when we can have clean energy AND put more Americans to work AND stop purchasing fossil fuels from countries who hate us. WHY? Because all those who stand to lose money if this happens are spending millions, no actually billions, of dollars to brainwash Americans into fearing this change.

For the truth, go to www.wecansolveit.org. Incidentally, this is a website geared toward both conservatives and liberals and all in between, so don't think it's some flaky liberal website. This problem belongs to ALL of us and subsequently the solution is the responsibilty of ALL of us. Check it out!
