Could it be that orthodontic correction is very lucrative for its

practitioners and the insurance companies? Could it be that we are

brainwashed to believe that protruding or receeding teeth (or noses,

breasts, ears, etc) need cosmetic " correction " ?

 

God be with the good old days, when people had great variety in

their teeth, noses, boobs and butts. Now, our culture promotes

more standardised anatomical shapes, more akin to those in the

fashion magazines. But at what cost - and not only money cost?

 

Binding feet (or teeth, boobs and butts) is bad enough, but binding

minds is far worse, IMO.

 

Many so-called democratic countries " bind the minds " of their

citizens. They use the mass media, political propaganda,

commercial advertising of approved products (and medicines!), and

legislation, etc, to put " their message " across, and to forcibly alter

the behaviour of its citizens.

 

IMO, this is a blatant " binding of the mind " . But we, the bound

ones, have allowed this to happen. To be bound, we must comply

with our binders by not refusing to cooperate.

 

IMO, we must be critical of every statement made by Governments

and commerical companies, including the pharma & medical

machine. The archtypical Land of Freedom, the USA, still places

high value on Freedom of Speech. Its gift of medical information to

the world (Medline) is great. But Medline does not cover

unconventional therapies as well as I would like. That is due partly

to scarcity of research in unconventional areas, and the poor

scientific quality of many articles and journals in those areas.

 

Finally, someone advised that one should: " Put your brain in gear

before you release the brake on your mouth " . Freedom of Speech

is a futile gift / activity if that speech is based on poor education,

" bound thinking " , poor information and lack of practical experience

on the topic being discussed.

PS: The Irish people fought for its freedom for >800 years. Now that

we are an " Independent Republic " , we kow-tow lower than any

other EU State to EU Bureaucracy and probably are the most

regulated (and " mentally bound " people in the EU.
