Bob... that's just plain misleading.... cancer is something not as cut and
dried as you make it seem. Some types of skin are prone to burns, some types
[olive for instance] are prone to tan. You can no more make a blanket
condemnation that exposure will result in cancer than stating having a boat
makes one a sailor.

There are some people who will never get cancer no matter how long they stay
in the sun.... some will get cancer with mild exposure. Just like some
people smoke all their lives and never suffer lung cancer. Your statement is
based on speculation, fear and fashionable attitude... not facts.
