Just a Thought

Not too long ago Cigarettes permeated our culture Tobacco companies were powerful Science discovered a link between Cigarettes and cancer Cancer was deemed unhealthy You no longer see media ads for cigarettes You rarely see smoking in movies It seems that someone somewhere noticed Violence permeates our culture Even down to a recent ad for electronics Involving an adult interviewing preschoolers “Which is better, one laser beam or two?” The (satisfying; amusing?) response Was “Two. Laser beams from both eyes Can make big explosions! Boom! Boom!” Someone noticed that Bullying can lead to Suicide, which is deemed unhealthy And people are working to stop it Gee, what about guns? Assault rifles; hand guns Which have no sporting or food hunting purpose After the latest grade school massacre Have we finally decided that guns may be unhealthy? The first rule of Health Care is, “First, do no harm.” Sounds like a good rule for Humanity
