Believe me, I'll be brief, but it's my belief that cancer is caused by human beings, not things. Even so, for the sake of this debate, let's agree that we have the uncanny ability to create yet another disease in our society. For lack of a better name, let's say this new cancer's name is, "cell-phoma," caused by the excessive need to communicate, through the excessive use of cell-phones in the USA. Okay?

How much sense does it make to create yet another way to get cancer in the USA? If it makes no sense to worry about things that no one, as of yet, has been able to prove is true, then why are we debating such a thing as whether or not the use of our cell phones will eventually lead to the demise of our lives? Do we need yet another thing to dread in our heads day and night? Isn't the economy enough?
Before you throw your cell phone away, please let me tell you the truth about cell phone use. More than likely, should your cell phone have anything to do with your demise, you won't die from cancer. Instead, you'll die because you choose to use your cell phone while you drive, distracted or blind to what you need to see due to text messaging. Either that, or you'll fall in a pit, just because you chose to talk and walk around all over town, too distracted to see the holes in the ground. It could be that you'll be too busy text messaging to see that truck blasting down the street, or maybe you'll worry so much that you'll soon be stricken with cell-phoma to much and often, that you'll attract a non-existing disease to become your reality. I don't know about you, but I don't need yet another thing to fear, fret and stress about, and it seems to me that we have enough to worry about today in the USA. Why do we need to convince everyone we meet that the very thing we constantly do will make us die?

Since there's no such thing as, "cell-phoma," I'd say let's not throw our cell phones away. Instead, let's choose to stop living within a mess of stress. Get off the phone sometimes and get a life. Go outside and smell the roses sometimes. Finding peace of mind, and even while we're on the phone, will reduce the number one cause of cancer too, because you see, it's stress. The mess we create from stress is the number one reason why people die all the time. When we fret, worry and stress, the dis-ease of worrying how, when and why we might get cancer can and does create a disease, like heart attacks, strokes and even mean self made cancers. It's called, "self-fulfilling
