that's the hitch for me and that was the tone of the gossip -- that nothing is being done now, when prevention has a chance of taking root.

also -- the ability to think critically doesn't always mean going left when everyone else is going right. often, life is ambiguous. often there's bits of truth here and there instead of in one convenient place.

lastly -- our slavish trust that our healthcare providers will take care of us is simply misplaced. healthcare providers need our active participation in our well-being. if there is ever to be true liberation from our consumerist trap, healthcare will become primary area of self-reliance. this is almost entirely by definition. we either OWN our bodies and take responsibility for our health OR we totally hand it over to strangers, pay our co-pay, and fall back into that warm, deep slumber.
