There's plent enough fat in back bacon. Its unclear why the US doesn't sell it readily. Streaky bacon is more of a condiment than useful protein source.

Good analysis. The corralary to all this seems to be politically correctness: make the debate appear decided and inarguable before an actual conversation is held. This pre-emptive form of poisoning the well so to speak has proven highly eff

There was a good point made in a nother piece that ebola is highly infectious, but not so much readily contagious. Its worth considering the subtle distintion to appreciate how difficult it is to deal with. It spreads somewhat rapidly nonet

The Hemoraggic fevers are not likely ever to be considered similar to Malaria in objective risk. More likely to remain in the same league as Smallpox, which is still class 4.

This is a great point. There is a demand for violence. It's counter-intuituve and non-PC but people pay good money to see it. It has nothing to do with redit, IMHO its more of a media phenomena. Look at the middle east.

This is missing the point. Ebola is a far more dangerous pathogen. I dont think this needs further explanation.

The only pessimism warranted is that people can't differentiate experimentalism from failure. Empirical data on failure is under-valued. Just like how academics never publish all the shit that goes wrong. Tons could be learned/sav

#1 The dynamics of the cold war ended because of spending on technology--not because "technology spending" was cut. #2 The cold war ended under reagan as a point of history. Not sure how much is left to quarrel about?
