No Natalia, the fatality statistics and their correct interpretation do have a high relevance to the future of work (and life):
> ****** Health experts, both allopathic and alternative agree that cancers > are caused by two basic things--carcinogenic pollutants and lack of oxygen > to the cells. See: US National Cancer Institute, on line, Physician's site. Actually, cancers are mainly "caused" by nutrient deficiencies, i.e. lack of vitamins, minerals, free-radical scavengers. DNA breaks / copy mistakes in cell division are a natural occurence, but the natural repair mechanisms can only work perfectly if there's an abundance of these nutrients. > | Also note that the table ignores the influence of illegal drugs on traffic > | accidents and suicides. > > *****Canadian overall stats for 2001-2002 showed that out of 192,079 > hospital admissions for mental health problems, only 3,519 were admissions > due to drug dependence Cop-out. A suicider who got mad with drugs ends up in the morgue, not in the mental hospital. As does a drugged traffic accident maker (sometimes hidden suicides). > Of the 3,000 deaths caused by motor vehicle accidents, 40% were alcohol > related. Use of illegal drugs is hardly ever detected in traffic accidents. The police don't have the means, beyond testing for alcohol use. > ******Puzzling how everything gets back to your pet peeve. If anything, > these stats should calm you down about dangers of drug use on a per capita > basis so you can better focus on the bigger problems of pollution and poor > nutrition, or tobacco and alcohol. I have always focussed on the basic problem of poor nutrition, of which drug use (legal and illegal) and cancer is a symptom. > ******I called you fascist for the sweeping prohibition plans you have, > which at last count included all alcohol, junk food, drugs both illegal Fascism is corporate government. If anything is fascist, it is the junkfood junta (food, drugs and pharma cartels that *govern*) that has created the present situation of endemic poor nutrition and drug use, and is still in the process of worsening the situation (with ever-more processed and nutrient-deprived foods, alco-pops, new party-drugs etc.). Not he who suggests to repair and genuinely reverse this inacceptable and ever-worsening situation.
