    Oh god. Level 51. That was my most hated level.... Typing class did not help me. At least not the way they teach it up here in the Great White North. Not a hint, BTW. Let's just say it is a relatively simple pattern, and when you get it, go to the WR forums. Or PM me.

  4. I'm using Opera right now. I love it, but only up to version 8.54. After that there are some problems with horizontal scrolling and some other weird shit that I couldn't figure out. I haven't used Firefox but a lot of people seem to like it as well. For what it's worth. But you have to understand, mental illness is like cholesterol. There is the good kind and the bad.

  12. So, based upon your reply, we have a long way to go. And you're right, we shouldn't blow it, especially by giving it away. Bottom line, the world is not a nice place full of rational people. I'm not sure you realize that. I agree with you here. But, there's room for us to wiggle here, at least for the next several hundred years, if we have to. It's just a question of will. I doubt that the US superpower will last even a couple of hundred years. The oil to run all of those aircraft carriers, etc. that power the machine will no longer be.

    All that doesn't mean that GMO's are deadly or evil. But I think there needs to be a lot more research done before we feed them to our kids - and there needs to be labeling and testing requirements imposed by the FDA on GMO foods offered for public consumption. GMO's are, however, a good way to grow crops cheaply for ethanol, cattle feed and heavily processed foods. (i.e. high fructose corn syrup) - as long as care is taken to prevent cross-pollination and contamination of other crops. It's pretty tough to ensure that contamination of other crops doesn't occur, Mother Nature being as She is. I can see your point about research on the subject, but if GMOs are OK for HFCS and then make their way into our kids via soft drinks, isn't this sitting on the fence?

    As I discussed in the meat wars, taste is my top priority. I don't believe apple juice should be homogenized. They regulate the mass production of food. It would be a bit odd for them to promote avoiding 98% of what is being delivered. OK, taste means a lot (I'm sure you meant pasteurized, not homogenized). Safety of the product should mean even more. What I was getting at was that to avoid these situations, the product should be pasteurized. As for the governments, they regulate all kinds of foods and don't particularly care what definition it falls under. These agencies are providing information for organic production / processing no differently than for conventional production / processing. Here are some links from Canada, the USDA, and just to get out of North America, New Zealand. Small producers / processors can also get exemptions from certification, so it's not like the governments are trying to discourage organic systems.

  17. Sample size doesn't really mean anything with the point I'm making. The 'one number' I'm referring to is the numerical ranking of one risky activity over another. Comparisons are made between risks all the time, especially in the media. None of these comparisons do justice to the thing at hand, because as soon as one starts to compare an apple to an orange, or an apple to a different kind of apple, it loses meaning. Risks, such as skydiving, are inherently complex. Trying to say skydiving as an acitivity is safer or less safe than another activity is futile. A person can use statistics to back up their point, but as soon as the 'other' activity is stated, the listener will form their own opinion, based on their own knowledge and experience. Many of the posts in this thread have indicated that. No risks are the same to any two persons. But you have to understand, mental illness is like cholesterol. There is the good kind and the bad.

  18. Proving my point perfectly, skydiving is more dangerous than driving. One of the principles of risk assessment is that a single number cannot be used to satisfactorily characterize a risk, nor to set one risk as being higher than another. As one author has stated, "no numerical rating of risks can be strictly objective, because individual ratings are influenced by inherently subjective values" (Thomas and Hrudey, 1997). So, even with all of the statistics being thrown about, it ends up being a comparison based on individual experiences, perceptions, etc. Interesting discussion, though.

    It's just so much more expensive. I've spent $70 on one bag of groceries at Whole Foods. It sure is. Here are a couple of pics from a recent trip to a farmer's market. Quite a difference between conventional and bio eggs. (Both of them moved at the same rate.) But you have to understand, mental illness is like cholesterol. There is the good kind and the bad.

    Not necessarily, there are about a half dozen virusses treatable by antibiotics. generally, antibiotics do nothing against a viral infections. There really are 21 antiviral drugs, the far mjority deal with Herpes, HIV and Hepatitis. Only 2 or 3 deal with influenza. It's not generally. Antibiotics do nothing to viruses. Which viruses are there claims for antibiotic treatment being effective? But you have to understand, mental illness is like cholesterol. There is the good kind and the bad.

    1. Organic doesn't mean it isn't pasteurized. And many apples that fall on the ground end up as juicers. This can lead to contamination with pathogenic bacteria, which pasteurization would take care of. Something to keep in mind when choosing your apple juice, organic or not. 2. Why would the government food agencies not be fully objective? What bias would they have with respect to small-scale organic food production?
