Are you sure you understand the concept AND the limitations of PCR? I predict: No. There are many forms of DNA. Single stranded, double stranded, circular etc. etc. I assume we were talking about non-circular DNA. ds/ss does not matte

Gmail is shit. Gmail is Email Extraordinaire but if something goes wrong and you lose access, good luck gaining it back. Try to call somebody. This, and all the privacy issues.

Democracy is one thing. For example I can be democratic to kill people. The constitution is the tool to prevent this. Merkel is currently breaking the German constitution and EU contracts (e.g. Dublin III)

You mean, like WMD in Iraq? Or Libya? "We came, we saw, he died"? Ukraine is not in the Nato. If Putin had serious interest in "claiming" it he could do it. And it would make more sense than occupying the Baltic states.
