Pooling intelligence

With so many brilliant minds in research one would think someone would be asking the hard questions...What is the down side to this invention, this research, this concept, the idea? There is always a positive and a negative to all factors of life. The opposite of hate is love, the opposite of strong is weak, the opposite; seems like an easy thing to do. Do we get so bent on doing an activity we do not consider the manifestation of the good and the bad? Is our focus so grand we can not evaluate the negatives on humans or animals or insects or the earth?

Wireless waves killing honey bees by messing up their systems, their reproduction, their cycle to make protein in their tiny bodies that give the process of fertilizing plants for fruit and vegetables. What is the up side to not having nutritious food? What is the up side for not having a balanced diet in a country known for heart failure, obesity, cancer, high blood pressure and strokes? What is the up side for political gain in Washington while many can not afford health care? Who's paying whom to do what? Big business. Fat pockets maybe?
