A recent decisionhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/03/AR2007030301311_pf.htmlI hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

nathaniel 0 #2 March 4, 2007 I support comprehensive antimicrobial research, particularly as applied to human pathogens. In the long run, insofar as this decision will weaken our defenses against bacteria, it may spur future research into new medicines further down the line. It'll keep us from resting on our laurels--it's a sacrifice of (probably) a few thousand or million lives to the evolution gods, for the benefit of the priests and priestesses of the scientific and medical establishment, and ultimately in turn for the benefit our species in the long run. We must keep the wheels of pharmaceutical advancement spinning!My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?

Think I'm going back to wild game myself. Braised tempeh, sauteed baby bok choy in shoyu, carrot 3 pepper and tomato stew. Glass of Pinot. Wild game - next best thing.
