CTIA says San Francisco's "Cell Phone Right-to-Know" ordinance is misleading

I think some cell phones cause people to turn into zombies while they're still alive.

Is this a surprise for San Francisco, a city over run with liberals.

They need to put these warnings on light bulbs because light bulbs when turned on emit a significant amount of radiation.

First of all, the fact that people mix politics and science is a very bad sign, though indicative that they're in bad terms with both.
Secondly, I have been studying and working in the medical field for about a decade and things go like that: if you think that something might cause some kind of health problems under certain circumstances in the future, you clearly state that possibility and investigate deeper.
Just by the mere fact that none theory has been disproved makes cell phone users lab rats. Get over with it, I have.
