11. My dermatologist (who I saw just yesterday) would like to have a word

I mean really, we're suppose to get with this program because a guy whose face looks like burnt leather says so?

The medical establishment has known for decades the cost of sun damage to our skin, our largest body organ. I've spent the last ten years with a variety of skin cancer treatments because of over-exposure to the Jersey shore/sun as a kid.

Bobby Kennedy has no medical license, obviously no common sense, just a bunch of kinked fans who will follow his every word. Which is fine if you want to ruin your own health and skin as a mindless adult, pretend that the world was healthier 100-150 years ago before vaccines, antibiotics, pasteurized milk, whatever.

But give the kids a break. As adults, we're suppose to be protecting them, not ruining their futures.

I'm so tired of this insanity.
