That's true. I don't know why that is relevant. Is it part of that same Shakespearean passage from Macbeth?

Looking back on it, there's been many a time when I should have allowed myself the psychological permission to ask one or more questions, instead of acting as if I already knew, or that I didn't need to be asking any questions.

It's as if I suffered from "uttering a sentence that ends in a question mark" phobia. I don't know if there is a commonly recognized terminology for that condition.

From what I consider to be Willie the Shake's finest work, "Macbeth", act 4 scene 1, just a little farther down the page from "Double, double..."

It is also a commentary on the questionable wisdom of politically driven "medical research".

and from act 5, scene 3:

Macbeth:
Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased,
Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow,
Raze out the written troubles of the brain
And with some sweet oblivious antidote
Cleanse the stuff'd bosom of that perilous stuff
Which weighs upon the heart?

Doctor:
Therein the patient
Must minister to himself.

Great observation, but I'll cover two of his threads by quoting Troilus and Cressida: Act 2, Scene 3, where Ajax says:

I do not hate a proud man, as I do hate the engendering of toads.

As I said clearly many times, I really don't care.
Was just passing on what I heard.

Did I tell you my pist was about YOU and taking flu shots. No. You just decided on your own.
