Well it seems that yet again someone paid by the government is telling us we need someone like him to give us advice on how to live. Read here.
Now correct me if I am wrong but we have done without these peoples advice for over 50,000 years. Slowly advancing, extending our life span and improving the mortality rate all based on us looking at a mass of conflicting advice yet making our own choices. Clearly the right choices. I myself don’t drink, a lifestyle choice recommended by people like Maryon-Davis which I recently discovered is not a good thing. These people make their statements and a years later come out with the opposite advice when their big experiment goes wrong and the facts come in. That’s OK when we can make up our own minds. It’s human progress and we do tend to listen to people we trust. (Personally, I hate the taste of most alcoholic drinks and wouldn’t drink anyway) but when it becomes something legislated by our fascist government and we are forced to take this advice reinforced by the full weight of the law that makes it different. You have to take advice from someone you don’t trust no matter what.
On the plus side we all know prohibition doesn’t work. The cost of illegal drugs in the world shows that and soon it won’t be long before we all have links into our local street drug dealer. The main drugs he will be selling then will be alcohol and sugar based with the odd heroin fix.
Now think what would have happened if these whingy whiney people had been around when penicillin was discovered. ‘Clean up that dish. You might catch something’. What about the first organ transplant. (Not so ) NICE says ‘Oh too expensive and its high risk’. Even before that they would have been whining about leaving the village and so we would never have left our villages and we would all still be reliant on local produce. I would never have tasted a mango or banana. In fact if these thoughts had been around millions of years ago we would have had one slimy sea creature saying to other slimy sea creatures ’We need a law to stop people leaving the sea and living on land.’ ‘It’s just too dangerous. It’s for your own good and you need to think of the children.’ Perhaps there were people and slimy creatures who did that back then but we ignored them and progressed.
Surprisingly the progress we have made in such a short period of time is seen by quite a few people as a bad thing. Although I notice that none of those that think there is too many people ever remove themselves from the gene pool and most have children themselves. They are too important. Like Al Gore. No wonder progress has stalled in the last thirty years.
Now I’m all for Doctors examining things and coming to conclusions that this is bad for you and this is good. Let them produce the facts, talk about it and come to a consensus. Let them put this out to the world and then shut up and move on to the next thing. Revisit it if new evidence comes up that does not fit the facts but that’s it.
Nothing justifies these people forcing their views on to others. Nothing. Only the fact that our government seems to believe that we are all going to do what they legislate allows these people to suggest these things to add to the list. Let them have their 15 minutes of fame. Our nature will not allow it and although it will lead to many giving up the hard earned, but not by them, liberties, many will simply turn to crime and eventually it will fail. The sooner the better and let us remember the French Revolution. Maryon-Davis seems like one of the elite to me.
How have we survived without these guys?
