[QUOTE="User 67, post: 18351, member: 67"]Yes, there are many ways in which individuals are allowed to slowly kill themselves. Some of those ways harm others so they are regulated, some are insidious and motivated by profit. But the fact remains, our generation has the highest cancer rates ever known, along with a myriad of diseases and ailments that were rare just a century ago. This spike has been attributed to the millions of chemicals introduced to modern man. And like [I]The Incredible Shrinking Woman[/I], many believe it is no single safe-at-this-level chemical that is the culprit but the incalculable mixture of toxins we willingly (as you pointed out) introduce into our daily lives. Every generation has felt that they are wiser than the previous, smarter than the previous and creating a better environment than previously known, (while ironically waxing nostalgic about the past), that collective ego was the same for the ancient Romans as it is for us now. Most people don't have the time, inclination or often the ability to get a comprehensive understanding of their own ego motivated mantras; often to the extent of mimicking what their parents bellyached about and their parents before them bellyached about.[/QUOTE]
