Morphine Stories

The human population increased from 1 billion to 7.8 billion between 1800 and 2020 because of sewage treatment, clean drinking water, vitamins, vaccines and antibiotics. In the USA in 1800, 46% of babies died before their fifth birthday; in 2020 less than 1% died. (Breastfeeding babies up to 12 months should be given 400 IU of vitamin D per day; 600 IU thereafter). In 1536, Jacques Cartier's crew were cured of scurvy with a tea made from the arbor vitae tree's needles (which have 50 mg of vitamin C per 100g). In 1796, Dr.E.Jenner developed a smallpox vaccine from cowpox. In 1812, When Napoleon invaded Russia only 40,000 soldiers survived a typhus epidemic; over 400,000 died. Between1848 and 1870, life expectancy in Liverpool, England, increased from 19 years to 40 years because of the new sewage system. In 1854, Dr. J. Snow identified a public well as the source of a cholera outbreak in London. In 1865, J.Lister applied a carbolic acid solution, to a boy's broken leg and was amazed when the leg bones fused back together without gangrene. WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).

Edit

Miyo Asakura is a Shaman just like her cousin Yoh and his friends who all have the same goal: to get the title of "Shaman King". Being the only female Shaman in a group full of boys you would think it would drive you crazy but it's a good thing she has a pair of strong guardian ghosts by her side and a good-looking Chinese Shaman with a hot temper. But there's another reason for Miyo's addition to the team. Her grandfather asked her to keep an eye on Yoh and to get ready for the battle they would have to face against their relative, Zeke Asakura. Yoh's older twin brother and Miyo's cousin. It's up to these two Asakurs cousins to deal with their family problem, the only question is.... can they?" Len Tao x OC Disclaimer: I do not own Shaman King or its Characters.

My father, probably breaking the speed limits in Mexico or Columbia this minute, My brother, haven't seen him since I saw my first pair of breasts, that being aged 11, My mother, a depressed drug addict dealing with a break up from 15 years ago, My family in general, completely and utterly fucked from day one. James Daleo had been told from a young age if he did any good for America, he would be dishonoring his family. Hold on, I'm paraphrasing, he was told those words ways in a more harsh way. Every bad thing that happened in his life, whether it was spilling coffee or his mother dealing from a drug addiction, he blamed it on his godforsaken Father. Fifteen years of wanting a way to spit right in the face of his rules, he may have just found one.
