DOES ANYONE HAVE AN OBJECTION TO THIS PLAN?

IN MY OPINION, THERE ARE TOO MANY POTENTIAL PROBLEMS.

THIS SYSTEM HAS BEEN USED FOR YEARS IN OTHER PLACES AND WORKS FINE.

THERE IS STILL A NONZERO CHANCE OF PROBLEMS.

BY THAT LOGIC, WE SHOULD GET RID OF HOSPITALS BECAUSE SOMETIMES THEY MAKE MISTAKES.

GAAA!!!

I JUST REALIZED I'M AN IDIOT!

YOU CAN STILL LEAD A NORMAL LIFE.

IT ONLY STINGS FOR A MINUTE.
