SanJuanSun,
Please answer the following question, but think carefully about your answer as our future interactions on this board may depend, in large part, on your response to the following question:
The Red Cross is constantly asking people to donate blood; the world is a vampire. Surgery often requires blood transfusions, and as a surgical resident, you probably perform cholesystectomies at least four times a week (though hopefully you won't need any blood if you don't transect the hepatic artery). 'Chole' is from Greek, and refers to the bile, one of the Four Humours, and a buildup of bile in the body was seen as a cause of aggression and/or depression, melancholy, as it were. Recently, I've noticed several billboards in my town that read, "You wouldn't say, 'it's just diabetes. Get over it!'" that offer free advice about overcoming depression. In a modern pharmacological sense, it is believed, according to one theory, that depression occurs due to an imbalance of chemicals in the brain (moanamine, serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine), a sort of modern Four Humors imbalance. We've all felt bad at times, and sometimes when we're down, we like to commiserate with others, perhaps a shrink, or cheaper, on the collective soul of the internet. The fourth track on Collective Soul's self-titled album (1995) is "Smashing Young Man" a highly critical track of a self-aggrandizing person that some people have claimed refers to Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins. Corgan has lashed out at Collective Soul, accusing them of copying their hit "Shine" from his song "Rhinocerous" [sic]. Despite all of his rage about this, we are still just left to wonder which of the two discs of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is the better disc. Which is it?
