Concentration Gradients

The more I learn about how the body works, the more I'm convinced that every reaction, production or change occurs by concentration (or pressure or osmotic) gradients. For anyone unfamiliar with concentration gradients, here is a picture to illustrate the concept:
Basically, molecules move from a high to low concentration. Like when you pour water, the molecules flow into the empty glass.
Well, here is the point of this entry. Concentration gradients should always apply to picking a chair to sit in when in public places. If you walk on a train or bus and there is one other person, don't sit RIGHT next to that person! Pick a seat far away!! This defies all laws of nature that have taken millions of years to perfect!
To the kid in my math class that always sits RIGHT next to me: Use the concentration gradient method!!!! Pick a different bloody seat!!! Your breath reeks of stale coffee and cigarettes! Every time you ask a question your horrible odors waft to my nose. You need to shower DAILY... and drenching colgne on your dirty clothes is not an effective solution! So either: learn some basic hygiene techniques taught to small children or use the concentration gradient!!!
This also applies to people driving on the freeway. Don't tailgate other cars, people. There is plenty of room on the road, space yourself away from the other cars.
That is all I have to say.
