Yeah, I mentioned all of those specific examples, because it brings exactly your kind of response out of the woodwork.
Come back to me and say that lives were saved.
- Malaria spreading mosquitos went away.
- Asbestos: it depends.
- Ban the ocean because Plutonium??? Well, that's just crazy talk!
- Rebel against the wind in your face! Let the sun shine! Drive a convertable, because lead makes it possible! Treat yourself!
All of those points are the kind of attitude that defers coping with the consequences of something, for selfish reasons now.
