7/16    Everyone, say hello to "Sicko": http://csua.org/u/94
        \_ "...... South Africa, where one in nine people have the virus that
           can lead to AIDS."  Scary.
           \_ Some countries are around 1 in 3.  This stuff is so necessary,
              our legislators should be dragged into the streets for being
              "worried".
        \_ Gotta love the fact that lawmakers are more afraid of a puppet
           than the actual disease.
        \_ A related note: Are HIV-positive kids in the US currently allowed
           to go to regular child-care centers or kindergartens?  How do they
           prevents kids from exchanging body fluids like tears or saliva?
           \_ they don't need to; AIDS doesn't spread through tears or saliva.
              \_ Oh really?  Would you bet your life on that?  Your child's?

4/17    Just a thought.  Say we select a small percentagle of the population
        (e.g. 100000 people) with representations from all walks of life
        (scientists, engineers, doctors, chefs, plumbers, nannies, ...) except
        bad guys, transport them to a distant earth-like planet with abundant
        natural resources, and take away all man-made objects (machines,
        clothes, books, medicines, all tools, ...)  How long will it take for

4/22    Costco is selling "Bluetooth Capable Premium Digital Hearing Aids" for
        $1999.99 a pair.  My Bluetooth cell phone headset is maybe $30 for one
        ear.  Why does hearing aid cost so much?
        \_ Medical insurance?
        \_ Does $2000-your medical deductible = $30?
           \_ How come insurance companies allow such rip-offs?

3/21    what are these virus phages? Can they be repurposed?
        \_ are you <b>insane?</b> you really want to start messing with
           recombinant <ul>rna</ul> crap when we don't even understand
           the normal virus lifecycle?

1/15    Now that Steve Jobs and Patrick Swayze are sick with
        pancreatic cancer, is pancreatic cancer going to become
        a cause celebre and get lots of research funding,
        far beyond what is actually justified by the magnitude
        of the actual problem?
        \_ they have Elton John doing benefits, not Jimmy Buffet.

10/14   I don't understand this whole AIDS walk BS. Instead of saying
        "I'm going to walk X miles, can you donate $1 per mile?" why
        don't they just simplify it and say "Give me whatever $ you got"?
        Why make it so complex? Sheesh
        \_ Because charity events get more people involved in asking for
           money.  Duh.  -tom
