WATCH OUT THEY ARE SPREADING GERMS AAAAAAAAA!

Deep breath for this one, Do you suffer from; depression, ADD, SAD, OCD, weight gain, problems urinating, insomnia, dry mouth, migraines, dizziness, itching, sweaty palms, sweaty back, lack of perspiring, vertigo, paranoia, nasal congestion, nasal leakage, mouth sores, difficulty swallowing, heartburn, upset stomach, constipation, diarrhea, anal leakage, low sperm count, no sperm count, hair loss, too much hair, hair in the wrong places, getting up, getting it up or a cough?

If you answered yes to any or more of these aforementioned conditions don’t be alarmed, your good friends at the pharmaceutical corporations have a pill just right for you. And if not there are thousands of scientists in white coats, tucked away in a laboratory looking through microscopes day and night to get you that pill. When you get the pill don’t forget to check the side affects; depression, may cause weight gain, nervousness…

The newest spread of fear and direction from those in control of our lives, is that we need to fear everything. A scared population is a spending population. That is as simple as it gets the more you fear the more you buy as it comforts you. And what better way then selling you pills that will ‘cure’ that fear or depression or whatever you may suffer from.

Health advocacy and Germ warfare are probably the biggest at present. Don’t eat red meat. Don’t drink coffee. Wash your hands and dishes with antibacterial soap; well this is good when dealing with chicken but don’t forget that we need to be in contact with germs from time to time. I wash my hands with regular soap half or more then half of the time. Did regular soap stop working when antibacterial soap was created?

Drink bottled water. Buy bottled water? But there is nothing wrong with my tap water at home and same goes for most homes in cities like Ottawa throughout North America. Plus the water that is in the bottle is no better then that of what comes out of my tap. Plus water bottles are recyclable and you think you are doing your part for the environment but think of this

-2 million tons of polyethylene bottles -- commonly used for drinks such as Dasani and Aquafina -- which require 18 million barrels of oil to replace, according to the Container Recycling Institute.

Remember the first R is Reduce then reuse then recycle. Some people have forgotten that and have placed recycle first as more things are now being made recyclable.

Instead if you bought a Brita water filter and a reusable water bottle you could clean your tap water and would not be tossing bottle after bottle. No reason to buy that bottle of water, nope sorry you didn’t sell me on that one. By the way I do love the fact that Evian is Naïve spelt backwards.

Bottom line regular soap, cleaning products hell even vinegar get the job done. If you fall for all the gimmicks, and rid your home of all the weak bacteria, the stronger bacteria will only get stronger. This will leave you sicker then before.
Just think of when you were a kid and ran outside with lunch, hands full of dirt and what did you do when you dropped that snack into the sandbox, where no doubt every cat in the neighborhood had used as its personal lavatory, you blew on it, brushed the surface dust off and swallowed it down.

So as the new saying goes Harden the fuck up.

Oh and incase you forget how, these signs are posted all over, thank god.

I support this stance on bacteria. I would, however, like to make a comment (somewhat related) in the effect that perhaps we, Goliath, need to be weary of David (microscopic organisms) who has Mother Nature on his side.

One of the problems today, I believe, is that the human race seems to forget that we are merely here because for millions of years the little things developed and evolved. Our current survivability depends on them; from the little microscopic slug-like organism that lives in the hair follicle of your eye lashes (purpose unknown) to the bacteria and viruses that make other organism’s function or aide in the survival of the fittest game.

We believe that we are so powerful; we can destroy the earth with all the nukes built, we can try to manipulate and change the way people think or behave, the list goes on and on. But it is not until a little virus comes along that is threatening the bumblebee population that someone really stops to take notice. Although currently the cause of this virus is unknown, this little thing (that was only discovered by crushing and extracting and sequencing DNA) has the potential to create a detrimental condition in NA.

I see one of 2 things happening here. Goliath will either crush David using evermore-sophisticated technology (only to have David replaced by a newer, better and stronger version). Or most people will be so ignorant of what is going on around them that they wont even realise it until it is too late.

I hope that my linkages are logical and easily followed. That is my thought that seems to have come out like diarrhea

You might want to use some purell to disinfect up the diarrhea coming out of your mouth.
