I'm not trying to make a convincing case of doing nothing. I'm not doing nothing. I'm doing those things that you've already mentioned. If doing more requires me to spend more time, resources, or money, I'm probably not interested in doing it. Especially if it's not mandatory for the rest of the people. Me saving and sacrificing money doesn't do much good if my wife goes out shopping and blows it all and then some. That is my point to this whole scrimp/save/sacrifice proposal, if not everyone is doing it and others are blowing it all and then some, seems pretty stupid that I sacrificed and scrimped.
Proposition 65 alerts and warns people that what they may be using may cause cancer in some fashion. Pretty progressive and forward thinking as the papers wrote when it was passed.
As far as people who have cancer? yes, I was in California this past weekend visiting an aunt who is succumbing to breast cancer. It is probably the last time I will get to see her so coherent. I hope that it is not the case, but I do expect that there is the possibility that she will not make it before I return to California again. I met up with a neighbor who's wife died in July of breast cancer. I recently learned that my first girlfriend's mother passed away a few years ago due to cancer. I have lost about 2 other friends (that I can think of off the top of my head) to cancer.
