So That’s the Problem: Traffic causing Brain Damage in SoCal
I know there’s been some issues around here. I know the people have become stupid over time. I knew the voters wouldn’t re-elect Brown as Governor but they did! Now I know why.
USC Researchers Say Pollution May Be Harming Our Brains
LOS ANGELES (CBS) — New research suggests that pollution in Southern California may be harming our brains.
We already know that pollution can do harm to our lungs, but research from the University of Southern California suggests that residents here are even worse off thanks to our traffic-polluted freeways.
“It’s not like what you see in smog and the days when you don’t get to see the mountains,” says Todd Morgan a researcher with USC referring to the type of pollution investigated in the study.
Researchers looked at the smallest of particles that are not visible to the naked eye. Air samples were taken from the 110 Freeway near USC and exposed to mice over a 10 week exposure period, over about 150 hours. The results showed brain damage — keeping neurons from developing — which could eventually lead to memory loss, even developmental disorders in children. According to researchers there is suggestive evidence, it could happen to us too.
Well now, I guess we all know what caused the mental disorder around here. I must be immune to the idiocy for some reason. Quite possibly because I don’t drive in traffic. I avoid traffic like the plague. I’ll leave at 0200 and be where I got to be 2 hours early rather than sit in traffic. I work close to where I live and that helps a lot.
Proof of study’s accuracy…
You know this study makes some sense to me. Most of the rural areas of this state are solidly RED. The city areas are notoriously BLUE. Perhaps the same people that found this study could also find a cure? Maybe spraying some “Anti-Dumbass” solution from helicopter’s like they used to spray malathion for fruit flies… Mmmm, maybe that had something to do with the dumbassery around here too? 😯

Actually no, these brain damaged people who vote Democrat and re-elected “Moonbeam” Brown are for the most part NOT FROM HERE or were deranged some other way. The short answer is that if you expose an organism to excessive concentrations of anything for too long you will likely see some sort of adverse result. The study is flawed as it does not resemble anything that any organism is likely to experience outside the lab, get it?
Albert, either way there is something seriously wrong here. it’s either airborne or in the water. The dumbass is epic in this area…Someone needs to find a cure for it before it’s too late.
I think *blame it on traffic* sounds about as good as ANY reason so far, the more traffic Cali gets, the more deranged folks appear to be…
Just living in Mexifornia is enough to send shivers down your spine and cause severe convulsions. Traffic is just a symptom of the problem. I have been here since 1960 and this state is run by incompetent fools. We are all in in deep trouble and Jerry Brown sucks.
