Okie please........I have no idea what a 'free thinking hippy' looks like or thinks. No one is asking you to express yourself in Aj's or my terms. We are asking you for clarification of what you said.

As to retirement......it is ever on my mind.....I face the 62 or 65 question in 3 years, not 17 years. However there are many things ever on my mind. I multi-task every day.

Frankly I think you are very capable of multi-tasking. I wish you would. I want to understand what you are saying. I don't at this point.

I spent years in the western medicine clinical trial world as a community representative. I could only represent the community when I understood what they were thinking. I don't understand what you mean by guinea pig. If you really think all western medicine is treating human beings as G-pigs, then I want to understand why you think that. I want to know how much you know about how the FDA and how clinical trial mechanisms work. I want to know your knowledge base and how you arrived at the G-pig conclusion.

And then there are the questions about how you define science and what you mean by saying science makes people G pigs.

Help me understand.....or not and I will draw my conclusions based on less that useful information.
