The fraidy-cat progressives are at it again. These are the folks who seek to impose their many fears and consistently negative view of life on the rest of us — under the guise of “protecting” us from ourselves and from Big Bad Business, of course. As you might expect, California is teeming with nanny-staters. First there was the LA councilwoman who sought to ban the construction of fast food restaurants. Now, cell phones are the target, and San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsome is downright gleeful at the prospect of imposing his fear of the world on everyone else.
Every cell phone sold in San Francisco could soon come with a label detailing the level of radiation you will be exposed to by using it and recommending a headset to avoid radiation exposure.
If a proposal endorsed Monday by the Commission on the Environment’s policy committee — and preliminarily supported by the mayor — moves forward, not only would consumers be alerted of potential risks of cell phone radiation, but it could become illegal to promote the devices in public schools, and the federal government would be officially called upon to change their standards for cell phones.
There’s a simple solution to this “problem.” If you fear that using a cell phone will lead to radiation exposure, mutated ears, shoulder kinks, headaches, bruised wrist, or any other real or imagined ailment — DON’T USE ONE. Then leave the rest of us alone. We’re capable of making this choice for ourselves.
