   Word & Parable of the day: Chesterton's Fence, example presented to defend the view point that reforms should not be made until the reasoning behind the existing state of affairs is understood.
   "The gate or fence did not grow there. It was not set up by somnambulists who built it in their sleep. It is highly improbable that it was put there by escaped lunatics who were for some reason loose in the street. Some person had some reason for thinking it would be a good thing for somebody. And until we know what the reason was, we really cannot judge whether the reason was reasonable. It is extremely probable that we have overlooked some whole aspect of the question, if something set up by human beings like ourselves seems to be entirely meaningless and mysterious. There are reformers who get over this difficulty by assuming that all their fathers were fools; but if that be so, we can only say that folly appears to be a hereditary disease. "

   "this is why the HPV vaccines are such a wonderful idea: they protect against a number of the viral types most associated with the cancers mentioned above. A dramatic example of this showed up recently, thanks to records of the Scottish national health service. Their vaccination program began in 2008, and so far the women who were vaccinated as 12- or 13-year-olds have shown not one single case of cervical cancer. And the rate in women who were vaccinated at later ages was 80% lower than the unvaccinated."
