Dear John & Doves:

 

Suppose that you were diagnosed with a terrible disease and you were told that you had only six months to live.  There are two mainstream approaches.  With one approach the government will pay for all your expenses.  With the other the place where you work has insurance that will pay for all your expenses. 

 

With either plan you have to do exactly what they tell you to do.  They pretty much do all the thinking for you and there is only a 45% success rate.  One day a friend tells you about a third way that has a 98% success rate.  But with the alternative you have to take responsibility and start making drastic changes in lifestyle: eating healthy foods, exercising, etc.  You have to pay from your own pocketbook in order to get some treatments from this alternative.

 

The folks from party a and party b will tell you all sorts of scarey stories.  They will even tell you that they had visions from the celestial realm warning that  if you don’t go with their particular party drastic things will occur.

 

Of the three which approach would you choose for yourself?
