"We have not detected any sign of dementia, with 97.99% confidence." Dementia runs in the paternal side of the family but from what I know it doesn't start until the mid to late age 70s. I'm 61 so I have a few years yet.

A deterrent only works on those who think they will lose. Propaganda works to tell people they will not. Govt controlled media will parrot what they are told.
