  1. Re:Libraries, right. on And They Shall Know You By Your Books · · Score: 1

    "But seriously, who checks out books at libraries anymore?"

    Oh sorry, now that you have your credit cards and amazon, you don't have to use the place that poor people go for books, do you?

    Libraries are still used by millions of people as centers of learning and information. I pity any society that doesn't support its libraries. Our country is filled with people who can't afford to order every little book they want, or who don't have internet access at home. Those people are no less deserving of information than anyone else, and for them, the library is the only option.

    I use the library a lot, personally. I've read so many books from the library that my amazon bill alone would rank into the thousands. Plus, I don't have to worry about finding places for all those books on my shelves.

    Support your libraries, and support the freedoms of people who use them. (And try actually using one sometime).

    Mescaline is quite available, and for reasonable prices too. Its not in every circle though, so if you haven't seen it around, it might just be the groups you hang out with..

  3. Re:chemotherapy != radiation on Chemotherapy Patients Set Off Subway Alarms · · Score: 1

    In this case chemotherapy == radiation therapy. The treatment involves giving a drug (hence chemo) to people with diseased thyroids. The drug happens to be a radioactive isotope of iodine. Your thryroid hoards iodine, so it absorbs the radioactive iodine, and the localized radiation kills the diseased cells. This isn't the case with all cancer medication, but in this case, the chemotherapy is also radiotherapy.
