You know for the past seven years you’ve blocked every single attempt I’ve made to try to get him to be treated like a human being. You’re going to kill him. Isn’t that enough?

So, what has happened to the world? That normal now passes as excellence? When did we lower our standards? There seems to be no expectation to go above and beyond what one might know, or might want to know. It seems people are blissful in their own ignorance. How far have we fallen? Indeed, how far have we fallen? We are living in an environment where people are blind. What you don’t see, you don’t know. Out of sight, out of mind. So now, ignorance is the new normal! In fact, ignorance is the new excellence!

“They called it Teflon. A shining symbol of American ingenuity, made right here in the USA, in Parkersburg, West Virginia. But right from the start, something wasn’t right. The men and workers who made Teflon were coming down with nausea, fevers. DuPont wanted to know why, so they laced cigarettes with Teflon, they told a group of their workers; ‘Hey, smoke these.’ DuPonters did as they were told. Almost all those men were hospitalised.”
