Breaking the seal on your medicine bottle

I must tell you that the feeling I have is a humble yet sort of a "I am sick" symptom.  Admitting that I can indeed use the radio and the television and all that on the shabbas is like being a person with a mental illness and having to take an antipsychotic medication.  That's right, I'm calling the orthodox belief which is not scientifically valid that you can not use electricity on shabbas a psychosis.  It really is.  So take your antipsychotic pill people and wake up and turn on a light switch and turn on that television if you want to do so.  God is not going to destroy your creativity and your blessings for being Jewish but not taking a new way of life up becuase the discovery of electricity was the biggest threat to the Shabbas. It isn't.  Be Good.  Be Jewish.
