I'm just asking where I should look.

Reduction..... to...... the....... absurd.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Please, do a face palm. You'd be doing the world a favor by covering that so-called face of yours with your palm.

I recently read a great article on apologetics that neatly described our current position:

"Despite the efforts of centuries of tavern drinkers, theologians and philosophers, there are really only five different arguments for the existence of God. If you accept God, any one of them will do. If you don't, none of them will."

Quoted for truth.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world.

They claim this genius god of theirs also made women and put the play pen and the baby carriage in with the waste disposal plant.

What a fucking asshole he is.

Which is an extremely rare event. And not only this, but almost all choking is mainly due to human irresponsibility. Given this, one cannot put the guilt on the system.

You are also right. Even though there are numerous benefits, the problem still remains. But I say that it doesn't matter much, since the benefits far outweight the inconveniences.
I wonder if the irresponsibility that leads us to choke to death was also part of our intelligent design. Food for thought. Just don't choke on it.
