Maggots: Coming to a Hospital Near You

Pokinatcha Punk writes "Forget breakthroughs in biotech. According to Yahoo! News maggot's may make their way back into popular medicine. According to the article 'maggots are remarkably efficient at cleaning up infected wounds by eating dead tissue and killing off bacteria that could block the healing process.'"

Re:repetitive, much?

We all know that the south was wrong and the north was right. It was a war fought for civil rights.

No.
The initial purpose of the American Civil War was to keep the Union together, when parts of it (several Southern states) wanted to leave.
In the early part of the War, Lincoln wrote that if he could keep the Union together and end the War by freeing all of the slaves, then he would do that; if he could do it by freeing none of the slaves, then he would do that; and if he could do it by freeing some of the slaves, but keeping others in servitude, then he would do that.
It was only later, when the War had dragged on and on, and people (Northerners) were getting tired of it, that he made the war about the ending of slavery; and, even then, he freed slaves only in those states and territories that had rebelled against the Union.

If you ever get the chance, watch Ken Burn's famous PBS documentary, "The Civil War".
It contains a lot of great information (and also some drivel) about the American Civil War.

Whites will never be a minority and should never be afforded any breaks.

People should never be discriminated either for or against because of skin color (or many other factors), regardless of whether they are in the minority or majority.
Non-whites don't deserve any more (or less) "breaks" than so-called whites.
(I use the expression "so-called" because the skin of most "white" people is actually a shade of pinkish tan.)
