For Those Who Don't Want WiFi Homes, Thanks...

Posted so that it can be tweeted, here from the Stop Smart Meters group is a tipsheet you can use if you DO NOT want wi-fi frequencies bombarding your home. We don't yet know that constant wi-fi access is safe for humans and domestic animals--and we do know that it can be used for evil purposes, when and as evildoers figure out how to use it. Let your people in Washington know that you want wi-fi for McDonalds, but not for your home...
