Title: Better Living Through Chemistry? Well, Not Exactly...

Blog Entry: These past 300 or so years have been a wild ride for us humans: general improvements in sciences -- microbiology, human physiology, medicine, biochemistry, etc., boosting our understanding of the inner workings of the human body, coupled with the development of vaccines and germ theory. What now is our greatest focus? Simple: keeping our skin soft, our dicks hard, and our brains 'just right'. The "Greatest Generation" is now nearing Social Security age and needs to keep their edge, no matter what. They do not want to "Go Quietly Into The Night". It's very easy to take pill or get an injection to make you fabulous. The trouble is, once you start, you sometimes can't stop or you'll end up worse off. I'd like to refer to that effect as the "Melted Face Syndrome", if I may. There's also a cavalier attitude about taking steroids: while I've read and seen news articles about no ill effects for people taking steroids, there's still a huge segment of the population that are impacted very negatively by the influx of hormonal substances in their bodies, synthetic or not. We need to stop looking up to atheletes as role models. They're very good at children's games and have limited careers. How many of us are 'retired' at the age of 30 to 35 and leave at the pinnacle of our chosen profession? Yeah, I'd want to do that too, but at what price? Shrunken external genitalia, or non-functional internals? No thanks. I like my huge testicles 'as is'. If you want to look bigger, then do some work. Shortcuts take you but so far. You still need to travel the road, be it the expressway, or the "Road Less Traveled". Lastly, I want to really ask what Restleg Leg Syndrome is. I don't want to make light of an affliction, but it sounds very made up. It rings of "I Just Ate A Big Lunch So My Stomach Hurts" Syndrome (IJAABLSMSHS for those of you keeping track). Again, my apologies if you suffer from it. It just needs a better name.
