Solar Eclipse Eye Damage
« on: August 29, 2017, 02:19:12 PM »
People actually put sunscreen on their eyes to look at the eclipse.  Now they have a double whammy of chemical burns on their eyeballs and retinal damage.  Reference was made to many patients from California and New York...evaluate that however you will.
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
-William Pitt, British Prime-Minister (1759-1806)

what idots!!  Everyone knows you are supposed to put the sun screen on your eye glasses...
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

Sometimes I think, "People can't really be that stupid can they?", and then find out things like this are for real. The good news is that if any of these morons rinsed their eyes out when they started burning they probably won't have any permanent damage. A lot of them have been referred to ophthalmologists. They should also be referred to mental health professionals since they aren't dealing with a full deck.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington. Letter to Alexander Hamilton, Friday, May 02, 1783
