RE:RE:RE:what is comedy? by george carlinBang on my friend....great post...actually sad that a comedian has to install common sense not doctors and others in "authority"
I have said for years that the trend to hermatically seal kids from disease is not a good thing.
As a kid in my generation we ate a lot of dirt and as I mentioned in an earlier post, if someone was sick we went to see them to get sick so we became immune from getting it again. In Grade 1 and 2 for a good part of the year half the kids were home from something ...chicken pox, measles.,mumps etc....BUT they didn't close the schools...life went on and if you missed a week of school you just worked harder to catch up....every other kid was in the same situation and most of us turned out Ok except perhaps in my case.
The politicians and health experts today have forgetten this way to fight disease that has been known for thousands of years. Neaderthals knew this!!! Why don't we???
