aye - i think you're right bout the electronic probe. I tried it to help cure the acne in 1998. the result? I couldn't eat meat or dairy (incl. milk chocolate) for 8 months. The result? I became thinner than i am now. The acne just yawned and went about its business.

I'm not anti-alternative. But i think roughly the same things about councelling. Mad coming from me i know. But my family's old, white steelworkin', coalminin' stock. You didn't have time to grieve or worry about things like feelings - you had work to do.
I don't think that was a good idea, but i do note that we have kinda gone too far the other way a bit. Things are so fast and efficent now that we as a spieces have too much time on our hands.
You know any dairy farmers? They're usually grumpy cos their constantly sleep deprived but the ones that i know are some of the most honest, fair and friendly (post 5am milking) people i know.
