Public Health is Unhealthy and Private

Do: anti-smoking campaign
(tobacco is medicinal for ~20% of the population)

Don't: anti-noise pollution campaign
(noise is medicinal for <0% of the population)

Never forget ambulances are loud enough to permanently damage your hearing in under a second. This is not some weird coincidence, it is exactly what you should be expecting.

    Public health is more about legitimising moral panics.

    Great example : Tipper Gore.
    One of her great personal causes was censorship of bad words.
    But she was also a public health advisor. (not that she was wrong in the latter - very strong advocate for mental health awareness).

    But you see.. the connection between morality and public health.

    It's the public good. The public interest. The HEALTH of the people!!!

New failcomment system also fails to publish my comments, it's not limited to yours. Keep trying, it will usually work, eventually.
Blogger deliberately trying to kill itself, I expect.
Captchas should be off. If it gives you one anyway, it's against my explicit instructions.
