| 1:10.1 | with cyanide caused several deaths. Do you remember this? Do you remember what a |
| 1:19.8 | big deal it was? I was 12 years old, actually. I was a month away from being 12 |
| 1:24.5 | years old. It started this national obsession with sealing bottles of medicine, |
| 1:34.8 | milk, and everything else. It is estimated that you will spend 6.2 years of |
| 1:44.6 | your life trying to get the silver foil off the wrapper of things whose insides |
| 1:53.0 | you need as a result of that. I don't know if it's 6.2 years old. This |

| 2:36.2 | your grandma went, and the corporations, they don't care, they just want to keep |
| 2:40.8 | selling you junk. So hey, if we got to put this crap on there, that's fine. It's |
| 2:47.0 | a perfect example of a situation where the cure is worse than the harm. What, Michael? |
| 2:55.9 | People died. People die every day in this country, falling down stairs, slipping, a |
| 3:05.2 | gate closes early on them. When you got over 300 million people, people die of |
| 3:10.8 | everything. You don't go crazy as a result of that. But we do, don't we? It was |
