WOW,   That is  SO   Spot ON

One of the best comments was:
  “1984 was a   Fiction Book,  NOT, a  Instruction  Manual”

It so reminded me of a malady called  Hypothermia.

It is something taught by ALL, F.S.T. and Many Many other Classes.
Which is a  Standard, in  Cold Country.
It is something, that if you have it, you don’t know it.
   (And it can happen to Anyone, who is caught un-aware, and un-prepared)
And only the people around you will know you have it,
And the ’teaching’, is mostly for them, to be able to take care of you.

Hypothermia;  Is when a human Body gets to cold.
You, the affected, very early on, will know you are cold.
But, very soon after, if no help, you will die.

When you are with someone, and say, ‘I  am cold’, THAT, is the trigger for other people to watch you.
They watch you, see how thin, blue, your lips are, watch your coordination, listen to your speech, etc.
You  Shiver. You, (Should), know, it is NOW, time, to do something to get warmer.
You then start to Shiver, Violently, It is, TIME, NOW, That  Second, for you, or someone with you to DO  something.
Because the next Step, (If you are alone)  Will be to LATE.
You ’STOP’,  Shivering.  (If you are alone. And or not done anything to reverse the effects), it it to late, you  WILL  Die.

If you are discovered, and helped, even in the last stages,
if properly warmed, you can recover.
But  Everybody, that is  EVERYBODY, that has recovered,
Only remembers, the last stage, where they were, ‘Violently Shivering’.

(shivering shows that the bodies heat regulation systems are still active.)
You Stop, ’Shriving’, your body is shutting down.

And their are  1,000’s+  of cases, of this happening.

Their are  Many ways to avoid this, and proper ways to dress, and proper clothing, and proper awareness.
And that is the Goal, and the Reason, so Many, in so many fields, ’Teach’, so you Know, and Learn.

The parallels between, ‘Hypothermia’, and, ‘Mass Hysteria’.
Are  SO,   ’SPOT  ON’  !!!!!

But of course, many won’t read:

Because, ‘It will never happen to them”.

Last night, Going out to dinner with a Cozen, (haven’t seen in 10 Years, She is in TX), with my Nephew and family.
Went to the house to change  clothes.  The Wife had, ‘Jeopardy’ TV show on.
Their are three,  Collage Students,  as competitors.
The screen shows a  PHOTO, of a  Crescent wrench, and Alex, DESCRIBES, the wrench.
 AND  No One,  NOT ONE,  buzzed in, to be able to say the word,  ‘Crescent wrench’.

Na,  “It will never happen to me”.

Only those made by crescent co .would be called a Crescent wrench, all others would be adjustable wrenches.

Batman;
this is NOT, any sort of admonishment, on your statement.

It is simply, to show a person that posts,  Frequently here,
 Who is  WELL  Known for his, ’Spin’, and  ‘Changing’ the topic,
and Leaving OUT, ’the rest of the information’,
    (Or IGNORING), the  FACTS !

Yep, just like the word, ‘Kleenex’, is used,
When, asking for a, ‘Puffs’, nose tissue.

Jog, you saw it,
 Did not the photo of ’that’ wrench, say, ‘Crescent’ on it ?

Was not the correct answer,
(AFTER  NONE,  of the COLLAGE  Student  NEW)
Stated as:  ‘What is a Crescent Wrench”.

Their is a disease, which affects Canines,
where a dog suddenly attacks or shows uncharacteristic bouts of aggression.
Where it is normally very mild.  It is thought to be caused by a form of epilepsy,
or a form of schizophrenia.  Due to in-breeding.
  (Very often misdiagnosed, because it is, usually a form of, ‘Pack Aggression”)

Anyway, It was first, ‘discovered/reported’, in the Springer Spaniel.
  YET it affects,   ALL,   Breeds of  Canine.

So if you go to the Vet, describe the behavior, the Vet may say:
  “Oh your, Lab/Beagle/Poodle/etc, has,   ’Springer Rage".

Thus, the,  ‘Left or Right hand, Parallel Jaw, Adjustable opening wrench”
Where/who, ever made it. Is, in most cases, called a  ‘crescent’ wrench.

But it  fits.
  Someone says, ‘Crescent’,
  Everybody Else that said;
‘Parallel Jaw, Adjustable opening wrench’
  Are  punished !!!!!!
