How About Devising an Antidote for Living?

I am writing to applaud Michael Schrage’s article, (“Vaccine to Fight Drug Addiction Is Needed,” March 1).

And while we’re at it, let’s come up with a vaccine to prevent Judaism, black skin, poverty, homosexuality, the Japanese, emotions, alcohol addiction, cigarette addiction, caffeine addiction, sugar addiction, dissent, artists, loud noises and everything that makes the world interesting. I have the headline: “Vaccine to Prevent Living Is Needed.”
