Waaaiiiit a minute here, something deeper than family guy is going on here. Ever notice how everything in the town of quahog on the tv show everything is clam based?
Yeah, It's real easy to go along with the whole human evolution thing until you're the one who's sick or in pain. The other hard part for those of us with allergies or uncommon conditions is that no one believes us. It's hard to deal with being young and in pain, it's a lot harder to deal with when people keep saying you're faking it. Besides without modern medicine you'd all be dead. Dental, antibiotics, bone setting, surgery, even basic antiseptics prolong your life beyond what it should be. Without modern medicine the average person would die before they made twenty, but I guess maybe we should just go back to the good ole days...
I feel for the poor kid. I have a similar condition to a lesser extent. It's scary as hell being a kid and having your body fail for seemingly no reason. It makes life hell not being able to go through your day without watching every thing you eat and drink. At least thanks to socialized medicine in the uk the kid can afford doctors. Thanks uncle sam, thanks....
Bring me the head of this dog's owner. Say what you want, but when you've watched your friend stay up half the night crying because she has to chose between paying medical bills for her kid or rent you'll want these people dead too.
I live in oregon and trust me on this one - not everyone in ashland started out related, but they all are now.
p.s. let's not forget about Bill Hicks "the day they find the cure for aids there will be fucking in the streets"
