    can you say TWISTED???

    My analyst told me
    That I was right out of my head
    The way he described it
    He said I'd be better dead than live
    I didn't listen to his jive
    I knew all along
    That he was all wrong
    And I knew that he thought
    I was crazy but I'm not
    Oh no

    Similarly, having more people doing research also doesn't really speed things up. Just an empirical observation based on experience.

    Once upon a time, a long time ago, I posted that I rather expect the cure for cancer, assuming there actually is one, will come from some entirely unexpected corner disconected from the massive cancer research projects.

    Science is not an assembly line.

    The very business of many companies is to survive on capitals and show increasing profits while doing it.

    They've invented this shit called "compound interest."

    So it's not always an issue of simply being responsible.

    Kitty is not restrained by fences and gates in the first place, but comes home.

    What poster meant was be nice enough to your dog that it wants to come home in the first place.

    Found a "lost" dog once. Put an ad in the paper. Owner showed up. Dog ran and hid under the sofa wimpering. It still breaks my heart to think of it 30 years later.

    "On the other hand she might get eviscerated by the german shepherd whose yard she wandered into, run over by a car, in certain areas eaten by large birds of prey or other wildlife, and so on."

    None of these are issues of choice on the part of kitty, although in the case of "my" kitty she let every German Shepard in town know just who was going to get eviscerated if they wanted to make an issue of things.

    And I'm the one who gets run over by cars in this family.
