"Any assurance [of Social Security payments] derives solely from the willingness of future taxpayers to impose taxes on themselves to pay for benefits that present taxpayers are promising themselves. This one-sided 'compact between the generations', foisted on generations that cannot give their consent, is a very different thing from a 'trust fund.' It is more like a chain letter." - Milton and Rose Friedman

Self-Examination Day

Brian Gongol

Once a month, everyone should conduct a self-examination for cancer. Two to five minutes a month spent on early detection is a vastly better investment than forwarding around hoaxes and bad advice.

For men:

Conduct a testicular self-examination, preferably in a warm shower.

For women:

Conduct a breast self-examination, (mostly valuable for increasing self-awareness rather than true diagnostics).

For everyone:

Conduct a self-examination of your skin with the help of a mirror.
