Since microwaves are used by thousands of people almost almost everyday, and since the Loch Ness Monster isn't seen by thousands of people everyday and poses no real concern to people, that comparison is not even relevant. Making light of someone's concerns is not helpful.
As far as microwaves being safe, that is a decision that everyone makes for themselves when they choose to use one. So is being injected with vaccines. At one time everyone was dead certain the Earth was flat too. Remember asbestos siding?, Well, that was THE thing to have! How many people depend on the FDA every time they swallow a pill? Yeah, I trust those folks without blinking an eye... Now there is research going on to see if cell phones cause tumors or infertility, ect.
Suppose some dude discovered microwaves were not as safe as everyone has been led to believe. Does anyone really think that kind of information is going to be on your nightly news? I'm pretty sure there would be a big pay off somewhere, or maybe an unfortunate accident. The entire food industry is completely dependent on microwaves and it would be a disaster to allow people to think they are unsafe. Anyone who expresses concerns is squelched immediately and labeled as a wack-o.
Donald, I agree that someone should name a water plant after the famed Monster... It would sell just for the name!
