Fat Athletes, Odors and Alzheimers, and Disease via Weather

Right this second, a professor is lecturing and reading his presentation directly from the power point slides. Now, what is the point of that? Why do I even bother coming to class? I ask myself this every day..........

The best thing you can tell your patients: Stop Smoking. I really think that cigarettes should be illegal. They end up costing our healthcare system so much money. It's really unbelievable.

When there is so much suffering going on in the world, it's kind of crazy to consider the amount of money that professional athletes get paid. I'm not going to lie, I definitely watch professional sports, so I am just as much to blame as the next guy/girl. I just started thinking about this randomly though....... Do you think there should be a cap on how much athletes can make? Or should they be forced to give 40% of their income to charity? Maybe we could pay teachers and pediatricians more, or give help to those who really need it....
