State of the Union

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the do-you-hear-what-i-hear dept.

travis slack writes "President Bush used his State of the Union speech to press home key domestic and international agendas. At home he promised to reform Social Security for future generations. Looking overseas, Bush vowed to spread freedoms around the world while continuing the war on terror, and he pointed to Iraq as a symbol of change."

    I thought that slashdot was supposed to be news for nerds. You know have a tech/geek spin on stuff. I can get this news anywhere. At least the voting machine articles were on topic.

    On the subject of the EPA and the neurological disorders.

    They are spraying for roaches because they are one of the causes of asthma. Asthma sucks. This is a step in the right direction.

    The neurological damage you mention is rare, and is caused by the improper applicaiton of the pesticides.

    The money might be better spent on maid service. Keeping a clean house is a key point in discouraging roaches. The need to eat, so properly disposing of their food sources is a good step toward reducing their numbers.

    Another step in the solution would be air filters. Asthma is linked to breathing in roach droppings. Filter the air, and you reduce the likelihood of asthma.
