Remember back in the late 70’s when they used to show a commercial with a skillet on a stove with eggs frying in it and the sound bite was ‘THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON DRUGS!” Sooo scary! Fast forward thirty years and you see a malformed CANKLE resting on a couch. “This is your foot

I am human….now, what the hell. What does that mean? Does it mean I am a person? An emotional being? A conscious participant in life? HUMAN…it is such an ambiguous term.
