“Don’t you wanna be pretty like the metal.”
I think what really amazes me the most after going to the anti vaccine rally, is the fact that even though these people say the world is so bad, the government is trying to kill you around every corner, whether it be with vaccines, or chem trails, or super flu bugs, they still think it’s a good idea to bring children into the world. I mean personally kids are just a pain in the ass that I can’t afford to have in my life, but these people actually think armageddon is about to break out in 2012, yet they are popping kids out left and right. If I wanted kids, but had any inkling that something possibly world destroying was about to happen in the next couple years, I would just fucking wait. That’s all, you can wait can’t you? But no, either by accident or their own faltering hand, they have a whole little tribe with them, living in a trailer in some field because hey, we were living in a trailer anyways, might as well be here for the next few days. I totally understand that times are rough friends, but fuck man, get your shit together enough to support yourself before you try to support another human being. Just refer back to Maslow’s heirarchy of needs. If you are satisfying all the needs, AND you have a fair amount of money left over, then sure, why not have a kid. But if you are struggling to fulfill any single one of those needs, or living on a paycheck to paycheck basis, I highly suggest you check yourself. You are not ready for children. Like I said before, take a couple years to try and better your life more, maybe see how this whole end of the world thing plays out, then reexamine your life and see how you’re fairing with the needs.

“Wow, who let the lesbian in?”
With all this talk about vaccines causing autism, and government population control, and buying natural homeopathic remedies, I think all of the people that now live in the Flathead Valley have gone completely nuts. Lately there has been a rash of these anti vaccination flyers stating things like vaccines cause autism, and the pharmaceutical companies scare you into taking vaccines, then you get sick from the vaccine, so not only do they make money vaccinating you in the first place, but they also make money when they sell you drugs to heal you from the vaccine.
It’s a win win for them right? It’s like the tobacco companies have weird vested interests in owning mortuaries and cemeteries all of the sudden. Anyways, that sounds like a completely plausible money making scam, and business will be business, but what I don’t understand is how they can believe that vaccines cause autism. There is quite a bit of scientifically proven evidence out there that clearly states otherwise. I might as well mention it here so maybe people will find the jamhole and take a listen when they are searching for “vaccines cause autism.”
To sum up the evidence and beat this dead horse one more time, it says that so far genetics could be the leading cause, but of course, more research needs to be done. It also says scientific studies have shown that even when thimerosal was removed from vaccines, autism rates continued to increase. It also says that with the exception of some influenza vaccines, none of the vaccines used in the United States to protect preschool-aged children against 12 infectious diseases contain thimerosal as a preservative. (Influenza vaccine is currently available both with thimerosal as a preservative and preservative-free.) So honestly, I have no idea what these people are talking about.
On the other hand, if you fail to properly vaccinate your children, you are leaving them very susceptible to diseases that can make them very sick, or even kill them. It’s like when your child gets pneumonia, or a bladder infection, and rather than take the child to the doctor like good responsible parents should, they sit at home and pray with the child. I’m sorry, but you are a complete tool if you believe that praying is going to heal your child. Personally, I’m all about having a few million less people in the world, but it’s really not fair to your children, and that right there, is sad kittens.
I would love to hear your thoughts on these issues. Please leave a comment or email info@thejamhole.com. By the way, we’re even now for the last couple of show notes I kinda breezed through. That was bugging the shit out of me.
