That line from the father's song in Mary Poppins, where he's going on about how nothing can go wrong, in Britain in 1910.  That's about the point I realized the boy was gonna die in a trench.

Antibiotics are one of the most dangerous things humans have created. I'd much rather feel like shit for a week or two than rely on a crutch like that at the expense of my immune system atrophying. Fair enough, as a last resort but it aint the magic bullet modern medical practice prescribes or, if it is, there's a serious backfire issue.

I'm up to my arse in Brexit Numpties, but I want more.  Target-rich environments are the new sexy.

I've only taken them once in my life, when I had strep-throat.  They did jack.  Halls coughdrops made a much bigger impact.

It's funny how "progress" is measured by different societies.  For example, prolonged life.  Living to 90 and beyond is a norm now.  Of course, there is much more cancer now than when people were lucky to see 70.  It seems, maybe, that our technical evolution is outpacing the evolution of cell biology. 

I dunno, I think I'd much rather die at 70 while having all of my faculties about me rather than being bed-ridden and significantly inmobile at 95. 

Same with the anti-biotics.  I'm sure it has averted tradgedy for some folks and their families.  But, when it's used for relative trivial maladies are we sewing the seeds of our own destruction? 

It seems somewhere along the way, we stopped trusting nature. 
Or, we just started flipping her the bird.

Nothing can be tolerated that inhibits productivity.  We get anti-biotics to get us back to work faster.  They coat our foods with pesticides because they'd rather give us cancer than have less than full shelves.  Humans are replaceable, Money is Forever.

I love that RATM video where the title comes up "no money was harmed during the making of this film"

that just about sums it up

they dont want you dead - they want you productive


i dont know what i mean by 'they'
i could prolly just as well be saying 'it'
or 'he'
depending who you talk to, maybe even 'she'

I'd say it's pretty much all of the above my friend.
