In response to my post on cell phone antennas, Annie of Hood River (windsurfing capital of the West) writes:

We all need our cell phones? I refuse to buy into that. We have no conclusive evidence that they are safe, and they have been shown to be a cause for car accidents. I feel that a cell phone is an enormous ego gratifying machine that is unnecessary.

To which I responded:

You know, you are right. It's a convenience, not a necessity. It is a nice thing to have in the car in case of emergency, but let's face it, 99.99% of the time, it's "Honey, I'm on my way home, what's for supper?"
