MRSD, you must be stuck indoors too....I tried to go for a walk yesterday an darn near flashfroze myself.....lasted a half mile...so darn windy and cold....I should know better....when the triple glazed windows with plastic on them to boot turn opaque white on top..don't go for a walk...

And it isn't near as cold as it used to be...I am just far more wimpy, I guess. As a kid I used to walk miles up hill both ways to school in this.
I agree that many pathological processes get simplified. These processes are complex, intertwined.
Pharmaceuticals can be life saving, but there is always a cost.
I suppose it beats leeches....but even those STILL come in handy.
