Are we any better?

Now I know you may be laughing and thinking "did they really put radiation particles on her face?" . Yes they did. I too sat here after watching thinking, "wow, did they seriously not know how dangerous that was?" Then i realized maybe they didn't know better and thought about the things we do know better than. For example, Botox. Constantly on the rise, getting used at this point by people who are young enough not to need it (I have seen people on tv getting it in their 20s). What do we know about it? That it "fills" the lines on our faces by deadening the nerves. Oh yeah, and it's POISON! People are spending tons of money to inject poison in their bodies!!! How crazy is that? How did it even get out on the market? At least with cigarettes people are starting to fight back and support others in quitting. People are being educated about the dangers and yet here we are with Botox. It is almost common place now, no big deal just stop at the dermatologist office and walk out, or have a Botox party. Eeek! ( Please do not feel the need to invite me to one of those. ) All of this makes me realize that the statement is true - the more things change, the more they stay the same.
