You need to speak with someone who was in the medical field before anti-biotics were around. I was very close to a relative who was a nurse before and during the advent of those drugs coming into use. It was night and day.
"Godsend" was the word I heard often used to describe them.
Sure, apocalypse now it ain't, but the way things are going, society as a whole will change drastically as a result of anti-biotics being superseded by evolution.
A four-wheeled device, known as Rover, has been tested by a team at a University. It was used to move a group of convicts from a bus to a detention area.
Researchers were amazed at how easily the convicts accepted the presence of the robot.
They were not fazed by it and the herding process was calm and effective, they said.
Robots are already used in the crime control process but the team wanted to see if they could be used in other areas.
But until Tuesday, Rob Ford, the mayor of multicultural, eco-conscious, politically correct Toronto, had vehemently denied a persistent report about a video that showed him smoking crack cocaine.
Get elected as mayor of Toronto?
But until this one, the episodes only seemed to reinforce Mr. Ford’s standing among his core constituency, what he calls the Ford Nation, of disenchanted, right-of-center suburbanites. Now his mayoralty is in serious doubt.
The livestock industry uses them, IIRC, to aid in the fattening of the cows, pigs, etc; Apparently some farmers have discovered other ways to raise healthy and "fat" livestock WITHOUT the use of AntiBiotics, however it is still an uphill battle convincing many farmers to leave that tried and true, ancient tradition of pumping cows full of AntiBiotics.
(3) Its probably not even unethical. Even when the people involved are assholes, I have a real problem with criminalizing, regulating or punishing people for political speech
I definitely have a problem with the existence of an intentional complex and opaque regulatory code being created to deter political organizations and political speech. More often then not, it won't be used against Koch, but against little guys.
Right. This...
When I'm watching PBS and they mention how the Koch foundation is a supporter for the News Hour or Nova or whatever I get a cold chill, a feeling that something is definitely not right here.
Make no mistake, the Koch's and others like them such as Rupert Murdoch
have used their money and influence to drive the U.S. into the environmentally degraded, feudal-like police state it is becoming.
I would suggest reading up on the early Christian church.
Christian-on-Christian torture was alive and well before-during-and-after it became the state religion of the Roman Empire.
The removal of shoes was never about safety and we all know that. It was and continues to be a tool used by the TSA to cow the American public into submission. It is a successful tactic in that the "think of the children" crowd will always side with more and more intrusions all in the name of some vague notion of security. If 9/11 did anything, it turned the U.S. into a nascent police state.
"At a presentation in New York, the company unveiled uProxy, which it says will allow citizens under some regimes to bypass government censorship or surveillance software to surf the Web and use its properties like YouTube and Blogger."
So is the U.S. considered a "regime" by Google?

Is he still holed up in that 800 sq ft. Ecuadoran embassy...?
What does he do besides Yoga, Play WoW, Drink Wine and read Snowdens leaked docs?
My thoughts exactly.
We are getting a new form of Monarchy right now via the inequality in wealth distribution.
high horse?
Who are you, a marketing rep for Quilted Northern?
I thought the article was about a Nowegian Chess champion.
Been there with the cat bite. Anyone who wants to "poo-poo" the importance of anti-biotics has never experienced that sort of fun...

Once Zuckerberg gets his way none of that will be pretend.

On whose authority?
NPR had an interesting segment about how farm vets push antibiotics.
The livestock industry uses them, IIRC, to aid in the fattening of the cows, pigs, etc; Apparently some farmers have discovered other ways to raise healthy and "fat" livestock WITHOUT the use of AntiBiotics, however it is still an uphill battle convincing many farmers to leave that tried and true, ancient tradition of pumping cows full of AntiBiotics.
Those and micro-loans for small businesses in the third world.
This has more to do with truck drivers of all stripes than it does with the oil industry.

Don't worry about that First Amendment. Your Lord Protector Sir Keith Alexander will keep you safe from that.
Right. This...

Thank God Bush II was around to protect whistleblowers.
Ahhh, the good old days, eh?

It was an abnormally long wait until someone made a TFTP joke...
