My apologies to you and the others who were having a great discussion! Indeed, I would rather read this one anyway. <---------------------------Exit stage left.

DEADLY DESEASES APPEAR TO BE COMMING BACK ---------------------------------- --------------------------------------- Although I cannot be sure, since I had "other things on my mind" then, but I thought such occurrences have been singular in the 60's/70's. Lately, however,it seems the incidents occurr as epidemics that affect a large number of people!.. Seems like the Social Engineering has matured into the Global Engineering!!! -- and the "deadlinness" of the deseases has also increased two-fold! I guess we should be greatful to the scientists who help preventing the problem of the Overpopulaition, and/or keeping it under control! In that case, the ethical problem of having a tribunal deciding who's to be treated from a dangerous desease (and who isn't) might be avoided... In any case, one should be very cautious while visiting (or, god forbid, living at)the rural, undedeveloped countries of the world -- for one never knows when the "Engineering" might take place! ****

I lean against medicine. I would be long dead, but non-the-less... It is a self-perpetuating machine with dangerous consequences. As mentioned before, in our shortsightedness we very well could be extinguishing ourselves through short-term gain. Finding joy seems more important to me. I would also not be alive without modern medicine, neither would my mother. Its quite possible not one of your or my or anyone of the posters here would be alive either considering the change in population dynamics over the last 200 years and the impact vaccination has had on that change. I also lean toward medicine, but again always with a watchful eye toward ethics. Its not an easy situation for anyone to think about.

I beg you pardon, Bushi, but you seem to be contradicting Creative who leans AGAINST medicine!!! * * * * * * * * * * *
