More Great Ways to Waste Your Tax Dollars...
Proving once again that a politician, given unfettered access to your pocket, will stop at nothing in the quest to "save" you and "serve" you by taking that money and lining the pockets of Big Industry, Big Technology, Big Science, Big Medicine - oh, heck: let's just lump 'em all together and call 'em Big Stuff or B.S. for short.
UK government funds robot to help treat baldness
British politicians have found a marvelous, wonderful, surely life-saving though unproven experimental technology to throw 3.5 million dollars at. Can we imagine what gender these magnanimous legislators might be? Were they female they might throw that money at breast cancer or domestic violence or a cure for cellulite some other worthy thing, but no, these "chaps" are going to throw money toward assuaging their flaccid egos by finding a way to re-forest the missing acreage, seeking to advertise their virility through a showy head of full, waving hair. C'mon guys, get over it! This would have been excusable had it been some experimental procedure to treat, say, prostate cancer, but spending millions in tax dollars in the hope of treating male pattern baldness? Get a grip! Give it up! One of the proud symbols of having survived to adulthood for most men is that shiny spot that can't even see without some big effort. So work with it - what's wrong with the Jean-Luc Picard / Bruce Willis look?
In tangentially related news comes this report
Sleeping with the enemy: Violence to women comes mostly from their partners . Is this a surprise? Not to me. It is time to stop this, guys. No tolerance. Just stop it. And if you know someone who is abusive, tell him to stop it - it is just not cool, and certainly not a positive reflection of his manhood and virility. "Giving her a smack to keep her in line" doesn't keep her in line, it just shows what a wimp you are. And don't forget, if you are one of those oafs who likes to drink a few too many, slap the little lady around a bit, and then fall asleep satisfied that you've shown her who'se boss - remember; she is awake and angry. Does the name 'Lorena Bobbitt' mean anything to you bubba? Find a better way to express your virility boys... maybe a hair transplant?
Me, I'm going for the Jean-Luc Picard look in deference to my bald spot. "The Missus" says she likes it...
