I’ve never forgotten the pain of my fillings with no anaesthesia, even today I’m terrified of dentists.

‘My mom said I’m going to the dentist,
To have out six teeth on mark(?)
And when I got there, It did look a scare, I’m not going there anymore,
The gas that I had tasted bitter,
And made full lines in my eyes,
And when I woke up, I was drinking a cup, of red water that tasted like lye’-
Poem on tooth extraction by little English girl 1973.

"Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible. Even if all are miserable, all will believe themselves happy, because the government will tell them that they are so." - Bertrand Russell
