See "Yellow Journalism"...who's doing the spinning here?
I'm just your counter spin, Dude. The idea? To show something is spinning. "News Flash" What you see in it depends on the clock speed of your own strobe light.

Everyone is different and no two situations are the same, nor are all the hazards man made and they can compile risk when acting together. The fact is STILL that people live longer healthier lives than they used to, both *because of* AND *in spite of* the world changing. NOTHING is black and white. There is no one answer. It's too simple to be simple.

The 'pharm' is no more or less "evil" than those you run TO, when running away from it. BOTH are selling you your own fears...that, denied, and you only "believe" you made a choice between something and another something that's the same.
Yet BOTH have advantageous elements as well.
An anti sheep is still a sheep, bleating to a different drummer.

Why is it that people feel a need to create enemies out of a thorn bush, then go jump in the middle of it and scream about getting scratched? Walk around it...pick a few black berries on the way by. What makes you think you know where your're going anyhow? Well, a thorn bush will sure give the "impression" of being someplace...if you are STUCK, you must have arrived?

Driving a car may be the most dangerous thing we can do, but that's not going to swamp out the advantages of doing it when the odds of surviving a trip to the store are actually quite good and not going decreases the odds of living longer more than going. *People you know* kill people they know far more than strangers..so..run away from your family [they are deadly]

As one apparently intelligent person pointed out...AGE is accumulative and there's a lot more of it around. [Yet no one ever dies of it and everyone still dies early of not living long enough]

How many 30 year olds don't drop dead? I've seen 30 year olds drop dead with brain tumors that avoided electromagnetic emissions and everything modern like the plague...what does that prove? Nothing. "MY" set of dots sez he got the tumor from being afraid of getting tumors and spending a great deal of time trying to convince others they were very very stupid and about croak.
 I know a heck of a lot of smokers he harassed that twice out lived him.

I don't personally know ANYONE that got fat eating at McDonalds, though it's obviously possible, there...or anywhere else. Some peoples blood pressure shoots through the roof if they DON'T eat salt. Nature occasionally provides us with EMF bursts many times greater than all the emissions we ever generated in our entire collective history. No, it's probably not a grand idea to live barefoot directly under a million volt transmission line or spend your entire year with a microwave transmitter strapped to your head.

You can connect dots to make any picture you want to see.
If you always shoot for the targets you can't possibly hit, like as not, you aren't even in the firing range. There's just nothing useful there that will let you escape the self validating feedback loops. The "junkies" goal is to generate a bad enough Hell to want to leave it and the more people he can get to agree that it IS Hell, the more convinced he is.

I can generate my own fears and scare my own self silly, thank you.
I don't really need to be "used" to validate your efforts.

If you understand how the body is an amalgam of frequencies and energies, what makes you think "our biology" is static?
Everything is always changing and we never know into what.
 Besides that, we have NEVER been what we believe we are.

With no addictions, why bother to get out of bed?
"LIVING" is an addiction, BUILT on addictions.

 Fear not. [Not, is really scary!]

What if "THIS" isn't life?..and we are addicted to a dream, afraid to wake up...using fear of death as a tool to stay asleep. I'd say "Jolly good job" and pleasant screams...but you're STILL gonna wake up. There is no limit to personal custom alarm clocks including random same-ness-es.

"Eye of the Needle" You can't follow me there so long as you are addicted to creating here in your mind..and there is only one mind regardless how how many brains believe they have divided it. No one with a whip at your rear can make you follow them. There is no "force" that can accomplish that. [They can only drive you to distraction.] But in the end, there is no where else to go but where you never really left. [ "Prodigal Son"]

..just a hike around the thorn bush and snatching a few berries...never mind...carry on as you will. I know I will, as, no matter what I do, think or believe.... I AM doing just that. [Chasing that most elusive element...surprise. And Damned good at it BECAUSE....yep, I coulda fooled me and never believed that possible.]

I caught my tail and tried to eat it, but every time I bit, I yelped and it got away...so I live for the chase. "Pretty work" ..just a perfect imperfection, taking a spin. One day I suppose I'll swallow me whole and then where will I be, but inside me, a perfect fit...and I don't think you can beat me to it unless I stop in a thorn bush. You don't need help to eat your own tail all the way up to your nose...and if you did eat mine too...you'd POP.
There is nothing that's bigger than what contains it.
