    So we're in agreement. Both you and I agree that stopping the constant
    dumping of toxic and carcinogenic materials into our environment is a
    good idea and that this dumping of toxic and carcinogenic materials has
    its roots in our economic/political system which is currently
    preventing us from doing THAT.

    For the record, I never proposed the "zero" exposure rule.

    Nor did I ever say that "all persons are created (immunologically)
    equal".

    I'm talking about OBVIOUS things like dumping heavy metals and known
    poisons into water supplies, storing radioactive waste near humans,
    billowing smog into the air second after-second, etc.

    Best,

    Robbie

    PS - it is ABUNDANTLY CLEAR that there are many, many people who know
    more than I do about the underlying physical causes of cancer and
    disease.
