A good example is that modern, high-end audio equipment (such as Bose) is a combination of circuits and tubes. TUBES! They went out decades ago. Until audiophiles discovered modern tubes can actually produce better sounds than micro-circuitry.
So new and improved isn't always "better" though when they say "improved" that's what they are selling! Aspirin is still around and considered to be an excellent inflammation reliever. Cheap accessible and it works. How many other anti-inflammatory upscale pricey prescription meds are there? Designer drugs. Hi-end prices. Sheesh. Thank you for your reply Walt!
Speaking of aspirin ... did you see the news story the other day about taking aspirin daily vs heart attacks? They now say that, unless you've already had a heart attack, you should NOT take aspirin daily ... as the risk of causing liver{?} damage is greater than the probability of preventing a heart attack.
I saw that a few months ago Walt. Jim has been taking an 81 mg low-dose baby aspirin ON THE ADVICE OF HIS FORMER DOCTOR for years! His heart is perfectly healthy! So of course we stopped it immediately. So much for that doctor although I guess at the time it was thought to be helpful. It's a miracle that we survive such "misinformation". How many times have we been told to "EAT THIS NOT THAT" and find that the THAT is better for us? Sheesh! Thank you for your reply! :)
I'm patiently awaiting the answer. All that glitters is not gold and all that is "progressive" is not a step in the right direction. Best example is "progressives" clinging to the failures of socialism as if it were mankind's panacea. Truly sad.
