Are we becoming phobic about germs? When did we become convinced that we needed antibacterial hand soap? And how about those disinfectant wipes at the grocery store to wipe down your shopping carts handle?
I can tell you, my friends, that I can remember a time, not that long ago, when we weren't so obsessed with this kind of germ warfare. Oh sure, I know all about AIDS and such but really, did you know that some germs are good (and even necessary for our survival) for us?
And about those store wipes for the carts, forget them. As soon as you start touching anything in the store or reach into your pocket or purse you're putting just as many germs within your touch as you took off to begin with (not good grammatically but true).
