Nanotech Protests Begin
ByteWoopy wrote to mention a Wire.com story discussing the danger of nanotechnology, and the beginning of a backlash against the branch of technology. From the article: "...environmental activists sauntered into the Eddie Bauer store on Michigan Avenue, headed to the broad storefront windows opening out on the Magnificent Mile and proceeded to take off their clothes. The strip show aimed to expose more than skin: Activists hoped to lay bare growing allegations of the toxic dangers of nanotechnology. The demonstrators bore the message in slogans painted on their bodies, proclaiming 'Eddie Bauer hazard' and 'Expose the truth about nanotech,' among other things, in light of the clothing company's embrace of nanotech in its recent line of stain-resistant nanopants."
It's interesting that the looney left will often accuse the right of fearmongering in order to push an agenda. However, every time you turn around these eackjobs protest anything and everything no matter how weak their "proof" is. They are afraid of EVERYTHING except the obvious.
I can only hope that when we have finally developed nano-machines someone can figure out how to create one to eradicate the earth of these foil hatters.
Karma means nothing to me, so suck it...
I can't come up with words to express how appalled I am for the disdain these people have for families.
After seeing something like that I could care less about nano pants, our society is more at risk of this type of thought spreading than it ever would be of nano technology taking over.
Yikes, those protestors are so ugly they should have grey goo thrown onto them. Being eaten alive by nanobots might make them look better.
... and in the DRM, bind them.
You are an idiot.
There are no trails. There are no trees out here.
