Band aids reduce infection in self-inflicted wounds.

I think a lot like you do in this regard, this is a complex topic.

At first I treated my cats like roommates almost. I gave my first kitties freedom and they paid with their lives. Now I don't let my kitties out at all.

I've come to the conclusion that the "sin" was in domesticating and distributing the species in the first place. Now that the domesticated species exists and is some combination of unfit for the environment and invasive, it's our responsibility to care for them and restrict them when necessary, including their numbers. The alternative for my cats would be a cage.

I'm an anarchist and don't feel I have any entitlement to control any another regardless of species so this was a difficult conclusion and not necessarily consistent but I don't like dead kitties.

The church is an organization that preys on people using their fear of death.

Ah, something I can finish.

I always think about how the little mosquito is mankind's greatest animal killer and how just a few hundred mosquitoes weighing one gram in total can totally ruin this 200 lb person's weekend.

I don't trust anything about reddit any further than I could throw it.
