Should you cure all illness if yes why and what would it do to our population?
It's not as if this is even a remote possibility. AIDS is a scourge in many parts of Africa as well as a serious problem in many other places. There is reasonable concern over possibilities of an influenza pandemic, and illnesses related to what amounts to a growing world-wide dietary crisis are on the rise. The list of serious world health problems is very long. If we ever have to deal with the 'problem' of too little illness, it won't be for centuries. In the meantime, we are struggling to adequately treat the diseases we have now.

Why do the police sometimes respond to the scene of a fire or disaster?
They need to find the source of the disaster, interview witnesses, crowd control, & traffic control. Fighting crime isn't the only function of the police. AND:The police respond to an incident because they handle police duties. The fire department handles fire/rescue duties and the EMT's redpond for EMS duties. Most places have the fire and EMS together to save on staffing,resources, etc. If there is a shooting you need police to stop the shooter, control the crowd, investigate the crime. The Fire/EMS are there to take care of the victim of the shooting. At an auto accident the police direct traffic, investigate, etc. The fire department treats people with injuries, removes safely from vehicles etc.. There are 2 distinct roles and you can divide Fire/Rescue and EMS into two different groups also.
What would cause a male in his 60's penis to become crooked?
There are chambers in the penis called the corpus cavernosum and corpus spongiosum, the former being pairs on either side. Physical trauma and other medical conditions can cause scarring, and this in turn makes that portion of the "spongy" expandable corpus cavernosum, not be able to become engorged with blood like the opposite side, causing a bending toward the scarred side. Take a baloon, and while blown up just a little, place some tape on one side, tightly to the balloon surface. As you continue to blow up the balloon, it will bend in the direction of the tape, because the other side is expanding more than the taped side. As with all medical conditions, this should be checked by a doctor to ensure nothing more serious is at fault.
Rain is important because if there was no rain, we may not be here. Rain gives water to plants and some animals eat plants and then there are animals that eat the animals that eat the plants and so on and so forth and so eventually we come into play in the food web and we eat animals that eat animals that eat animals that eat animals that eat animals that eat animals that eat the plants.
It also can help the roads, as it clears the dirty stuff on the ground, therefore rain takes part and washes it away. Rain also can bring the pollution down from the air.
