“Drug misuse is not a disease, it is a decision, like the decision to step out in front of a moving car. You would call that not a disease but an error in judgment. When a bunch of people begin to do it, it is a social error, a life-style.

That's how powerful Wal-Mart is.” IfsYearsHeartMadeCountryFacesAbilityDecisionPowerfulExampleProductsTomorrowDiseaseSellsRateSizeRefuseOilScalesDeclineHeart DiseaseAbility To Change Author:Simon Sinek
“While the nature of Texas fever is by no means made clear as yet, we are able to affirm that ticks can produce it. Whether the disease can be transmitted by any other agency must be decided by future investigations. Meanwhile the evidence accumulated thus far seems to favor very strongly the dictum: No ticks, no Texas fever.” MeanMadeSeemsAbleScienceNatureDecisionClearProduceDiseaseEvidenceDecidedFavorsAgencyTexasVery StrongInvestigationFeverTick Author:Theobald Smith
