It’s called MELANOMA, and being white, male and over 50 are actual risk factors.
I really have trouble believing that number -
Yes, I suppose the next time I’m in a fine dining establishment that has no roof, or is lit with sun lamps or ambient lighting from a tanning bed, I’ll consider donning a hat.
Several risk factors can make a person more likely to develop melanoma.
Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure
Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays is a major risk factor for most melanomas. Sunlight is the main source of UV rays. Tanning beds and sun lamps are also sources of UV rays.
While UV rays make up only a very small portion of the sun’s rays, they are the main cause of the damaging effects of the sun on the skin. UV rays damage the DNA of skin cells. Skin cancers begin when this damage affects the DNA of genes that control skin cell growth.Yep…a habit of mine. While I’m not completely bald, there is much less coverage than there was once. And I do not wear ball caps, but the sort of hat Beretta wore. (not sure the name of those types of hats) It’s a crutch, like Linus’s blanket, I suppose. It makes me feel younger. Men who wear toupees, however…I do not understand that for the life of me.

While respondents were deeply divided across partisan lines, with 87 percent of Democrats backing Clinton and 84 percent supporting Trump,
cough Editors? Clean-up on graf 3? I believe you mean to say ‘84 percent of Republicans supporting Trump’?
Seriously, well-written little piece, but are you guys a little thin on copy-editors? Hell, I’ll help out if you need it.
Don’t you see the irony in the above? As you continue to bash Clinton, you are as much apart of the problem as any Republican. In fact, you’re doing the work for them. Look, Sanders is not going to be the nominee, likely under any circumstances. I think, and the political being markets agree, Biden is more likely to step in than Sanders. And every attempt to bash her, every attack by the left, simply encourages more to continue to oppose her. Over the past couple of weeks, absolutely nothing had happened, not a gaffe or a revelation of any kind, that explains a seven point drop. Nothing. So, the idea that a drop in this poll, a drop that cannot be pinned on anything the candidate has done, means one of a few things:
- The previous poll was essentially “bad” or this one is, or somewhere in between.
- She still hasn’t been able to shore up part of her natural base.
- All of the above.
Either way, pushing her down and then complaining that she hasn’t gotten up is pretty disingenuous. You’re spreading the discontent and anger that’s helping to keep her polling artificially low.

The majority of White Americans will always support the White Racist candidate.
Doesn’t matter what they say or do.
Always.
Wait a minute = I don’t buy that a majority of white voters always support the white racist candidate. Didn’t a majority of white voters support Obama? Twice?
Flagged. There is no room for bigots here, no matter who the targets of the bigotry are.
Oh please, every creature on the planet eventually suffers extinction. Tweaking the schedule isn’t racist.
Hiding behind bigotequette?
How quaint!

Her polling is “artificially low”? I don’t know how you arrived at that conclusion. Let’s not fall into the same trap Republicans did with Romney. Let’s not try to “unskew” polls, they are what they are and Dems need to find a way to improve them before Trump gets his act together.
I intend to vote for Clinton, regardless of what happens between now and November. The primary is clearly over but that doesn’t mean Dems made the right decision. But like I said, I’ll shut up about that until after the convention. If her polling no longer sucks at that point, then I’ll admit I was wrong and move on. If she ends up blowing this, you bet I’ll be tooting the “Should have went with Bernie” horn for a loooong time.
I’m personally disappointed Biden didn’t run, because he’d be up at least 15 points and probably win by at least that amount too.
If you look through the polls that have include him AND have a poll without him…he draws about even percentages from both…and when they poll without him, his numbers are pretty evenly split.
He is coming it at about 8 or 9% too.
