When I grew up, everyone got cholera and dysentery! If people don't get it now, that's UNFAIR! Getting these diseases builds character.

If we want our kids to be SERIOUS we need to let them get cholera and dysentery. After all, both are totally natural.

My father got cholera on New Years Eve from oysters here in Aus. Besides a mild fever and 2 days on an IV drip, he was fine. Not a great thing but far more manageable than back in the day.
