I know, I am from Europe. But my government also stepped in to make those cures more affordable (I thought it was for this cure, but I might have messed up for another). And the quote about reality wasn't meant in a serious way, like someone would say "you know, stabbing your abdomen doesn't really improve your chances of survival..."

Granted, you can have a pony. Yoiu have to live in it's stable, however, even when the pony may roam the field. Have fun with the odor of equine excrement...

I wish for reality to be less grim.
