Aquarius

It was the 1960’s musical Hair that announced the dawning of the age of Aquarius. Now as we find ourselves at the beginning of the 21st century we must be experiencing the middle age of Aquarius, and you only need look around to find the proof.

Look around your place of work, shopping malls, cinemas, even in the street, and there you will see them. People walking around with a bottle of water, petrified that they might dehydrate. I am not quite sure how quickly a body dehydrates, but I suspect in the developed western world that you are never really very far away from a ready source of potable water.

These people really need to get to grips with the basics of risk assessment, and when they do, given their pessimistic outlooks, be prepared to see hundreds of individuals walking around wearing anti-stab bullet proof vests and carrying chemical suits and breathing apparatus.

Trust me – dehydration really is the least of your worries!
