Abstract
In an increasingly technological world, humans are attracted to the outdoors, “organic” foods, and weekend forays for exotic mushrooms. They are thus exposed to snake venom, botulism, and deadly hepatotoxins. As we seek political domination, the weapons of war include nuclear bombs, biologic agents, and evil concoctions such as nerve gas. As pharmaceutical scientists release ever more potent agents to mitigate high blood pressure, arrhythmias, depression, clogged prostates, and everything else that ails us, the pill vials sit in the medicine cabinet waiting for an inquisitive child or a morose adult to gulp a fistful. Middle Americans labor in factories . . .
