"Scourge", I don't think so, leprosy or Hansen's disease is a scourge, cancer, kidney failure, blindness, deafness--those are scourges and the people that get them display huge courage. Baldness is just a cosmetic issue, and $10-15,000, Jesse James used a gun. And finally, what every happened to the part of the doctor's oath that said, "First do no harm."
SLY, and it's semi-official mantra, "No rugs, no plugs and no drugs" is the sensible response to this issue. I can honestly say, being that I'm not exactly movie star in appearance, that everyone who has combover issues, thinning cr_ppy hair, looks better slick, clean and sly. The only thing that slows the acceptance of Sly is that no one makes big bucks with the intelligent response to this cosmetic issue. Okay, we may buy a few more shaving supplies out of necessity or curiosity but not big bucks.
Sly today, Sly tomorrow, Sly foreever.
