Elizabeth The 2nd is our Queen, so in effect we ARE Elizabethan's. Next in line will be Prince Charles, then William. Luckily we won't experience Victorian and Edwardian times again in our lifetime.

    steph soppanish The reasoning for that is because it’s easy and relatively cheap to keep your teeth healthy. It’s as simple as brushing, flossing, and rinsing twice a day while making sure to stay away/limit caustic foods. The same cannot be said of infectious diseases that one usually has no control over avoiding.

    Alejandro - Not all, but a great deal of dental issues are due to poor habits. The same can be said of obesity. Companies should not have to bear the brunt for negligent clients that smoke, eat caustic foods, or fail to brush twice-daily and floss between meals. All of those brought dental disease on to themselves. People tend to think that corporations are these otherworldly entities; they’re nothing more than a collection of people (you know, those things you care so much about?) who need that profit to pay their mortgage and keep their lights on. You are correct on my assumption of the homeless. I come from a country where socioeconomic mobility is genuinely impossible. America truly is the land of opportunity, and anyone who is able-bodied can carve out a decent life for themselves here. This privileged capitalist ass came to this country at 19, worked 2 (sometimes 3) jobs, and lived out of a rented room in a basement. I eventually gathered enough for Community College, graduated, and found a nice job for myself. Fast forward 20 years and I’m living a life that would’ve been impossible for someone born to what you would call sharecroppers. Now it’s time to come full circle with my anecdotal story. As a broke immigrant working in a factory, I ran into plenty of those same underprivileged people you speak of. There’s a reason why many (not all, but a *great* deal) of them continue to live in mediocrity...and it isn’t because of some invisible force keeping them there. Poor life decisions lead to mediocrity, and poor dental hygiene leads to dental issues. My source for my original claim: www.dentalone-va.com/a-guide-to-dental-disease-prevention/

    Her reaction is not exaggerated. I worked at a bar and it was in our historic downtown and every spring was prone to flooding rains, well early one spring the water main in the basement burst at a joint and was filling the basement. Right away the only way to prevent substantial water filling the basement and ruining everything down there was to hold the two segments together so the water continued through on it's intended path. Well it was another employee and I struggling against this raging torrent and the water was cold, as a witch's teat. I had never experienced being exposed to water at that temp and was amazed at how uncontrollable the gasping was. I was breathing heavily from the physically demanding task of the struggle and keeping my breathing was almost more than I could manage. It made me think of sailor's or submariners drowning in frigid waters and what a terrible fate that must be...

    Food in general does. Eating is a biological imperative after all, so we're hardwired to enjoy it. Problem is that for our hunter gatherer ancestors something fatty or sugary was an incredible source of energy (slow release and fast release respectively) and our brains still go "ug ug, this giant bag of sweets help hunt mammoth!" Which considering we're more likely to be hunting for the TV remote has predictable consequences.

    Interesting to compare the super-cautious approach to mercury shown in laboratory conditions to the way it was handled even in my school days in the 1970s. Mercury was used in numerous experiments in physics classes and the main concern was the difficulty of recovering this expensive chemical if spilled. I recall in one case the tray on which the teacher was carrying out a demonstration was knocked and about half a pint of mercury spilled across the bench and onto the floor. We pupils then spent the rest of the lesson on our hands and knees helping the (not terribly happy) lab technician to collect the elusive liquid by scraping it onto folded pieces of paper drop by drop. If i recall correctly, about a quarter of the mercury was never recovered, presumably rolling into cracks and crevices to later evaporate into the school's atmosphere.

We all laughed at the wonder of this mysterious element. We had no idea whatsoever that this was a dangerous metal.
