These bankers are but the culmination of the campaign to repudiate any idea of a social contract for the common good between countryman to grow the pie so that all can prosper. It has taken 40 years for the Bushs and Mellons and Scafies among other FDR haters, the sponsers of Glen Beck and...

Good grief. I can't refute any of this. We still have a long way to go to get our country's sense of standard civil and ethical behavior and backbone and courage in the cause of the. common good back. The Randians have done such a complete job of making rapacious lying behavior socially...

The Republicans crooks are the neurons in the brain of the worm and among the main beneficiaries of the scams. They control the tea-baggers . The illiterate tea baggers are the information deprived kiss-ass sycophants. All they get is the glory of working for the glory of their idols and...

Blade Often does not cover the half if it. Your response is ENTIRELY typical. The CDC used to have a biofilm lab, which they apparently closed during the Bush years. Most MDs never heard of a biofilm, but that is the default mode of living for bacteria, and biofilms are 100 to 1000...
