<I have coffee with a retired AF guy> Good lord, you are ignorant. This is your "evidence" that the dioxin in the agent orange used in Vietnam -- one of the most dangerous cancer causing compounds ever developed -- is "harmless" because you had coffee with a guy who is not sick or dead?

<<Well, I have coffee with a retired AF guy who spent 2 tours heading the loading where they flew the "agent orange" out of. Nozzles on the planes leaked so he was covered with the stuff 24/7 both years. No problems.>> My friend's grandfather smoked 2 packs a day and lived into his late eighties before dying peacefully in his sleep. Therefore I conclude that all the scientific reports proving smoking causes lung cancer and accelerates heart disease are bunk....LOL! Just admit you're wrong on this one and move on......it'd be a lot easier in the end and you'd actually get a lot more respect. MON.
