Benjamin Franklin wrote these words in 1773. And what if the old guy was onto something? What if life had a Skip button, like the one on your TiVo? Then you could go offline until next year, when your medication will be approved, or next decade, when your bonds will have matured, or even next century, when life is scheduled (finally!) to become perfect.

COOL .....Now I will know what to suggest to the Dr. in about 3-4 years, if I ever go into major surgary. Of course, my luck, my insurance won't pay for it.

I some times wonder how much further along we would be
in bioscience if our efforts had not been so focused (because of
WWII) on nuclear physics, and bombs.
:cool:
Good Day All,
Guess we would be frozen up for a long time. :eek: A personal opinion I have held onto for as long as I can remember is that there is no money in cures for diseases, so we shouldn't expect them. Just imagine the rows and rows of medicines that would no longer be required if they released the cures. And those that were employed by the companies that manufactured those over-the-counter medicines would be out of jobs as well. I can't even begin to imagine how much money those companies would loose.
You just can't convince me, that after all of these years we couldn't have found the cures for those illnesses that plague us the most. Might make a good soap opera or a movie about the greatest scandal ever!
cheers
