re: #2 Killgore Trout

People are just germphobic these days. Humans survived for millions of years before some marketing dickhead came up with hand sanitizer gel. I use the reusable bags all the time, never wash then and never made me sick.

I agree.
I don’t use anti-bacterial soap, just regular stuff.
I don’t wash the bags.
I kiss my cat’s fur.
My cat sleeps with me, right next to my face.
I don’t dust nearly as often as I ought to.

You know, I’m sure, that studies have shown that kids who grow up in less than pristine conditions have FEWER ALLERGIES than kids who grow up in super-clean environs.
