  1. so if what seems to be suggested in the following clip about injury preceding cancer is generally what happens....

    follow this analogy;
    if modern civilisation with it's cities is the cancer, what is the injury which precipitated it?
     
  2. i know i have an answer..........






    .... somewhere/time.......




    what was it?
     

  3. I guess I'd have to say Babylon would be that somewhere

    and the injury preceding it would be lust for the illusion of power and control
    pm me with your answer
     
  4. What a smart and passionate young girl...just turned 20 as well.

    Maybe we just watched a future Nobel prize winner. A freak situation meant her grandmother didn't die...maybe that was the first clue that this girl is due to do something special with her life.

    Then her parents ended up in Canada rather than Australia which in turn lead her to read about the Ebola virus.

    If either of those 2 life changing moments had gone a different way she probably wouldn't be on that stage.

    I wish her all the best with her research!

    As for the analogy...

    if modern civilisation with it's cities is the cancer, what is the injury which precipitated it?

    I'm gonna give this some thought.
