The greater danger than some disease is the danger cell phone users on the highway pose to the other drivers in close proximity to the cell phone using driver.
Another peril is the cell phone user at dinner with his/her family that gets 12 calls during a meal. Is this the way to have quality time with your mate and kids?
Furthermore, another outright obnoxious habitual cell user trick is to initiate a call during a dinner date at the local eatery. The the "user" (sounds like and addict doesn't it) then begins to speak much more loudly then he/she would normally speak in a regular conversation. To make it much worse, is the "user" often discusses personal or business matters so loudly everyone in the place knows the facts before the "user" is done.
Yes, microwaves may kill you, but cell phone abuse is a debilitating trend that causes people to be unsociable, inconsiderate and downright dangerous in traffic. Inconsiderate at eateries and other public places.
It should be a house policy that cell phones are to be put on silence during meals, and calls only returned after quality family time. Diners and other eateries should eject habitual cell phone users that seem to always allow thier phone to ring as many times as possible, complain it's ringing and then answer the phone loudly and talk too long about too much personal stuff.
America was a better place before it was flooded with cell phones!
