I’m curious as to how much research has been conducted on some of these things. I’m left handed, eat barbequed meat, eat bread, take the train to school and many of those other things, but I haven’t died of cancer yet. I’d say what they’ve done is get some people who have cancer, asked them questions about their life and said these are possible things that have caused your cancer. But I don’t get how global warming can cause cancer.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes.

When life hands you lemons make apple juice. Then laugh while life tries to figure out how you did it.
