This is, of course, evident to those who can actually read
the literature, "we" in other words. Ken Fortenberry Once again you've managed to display your lack of understanding. You've confused demographics with genetics. You're parroting propaganda. It is not that families need to reproduce at high rates, but that they choose to or that they do so because they have no access to birth control. Genetics, Kenny, is what determines the color of your eyes, the shape of your ears, not the number of offspring you produce. Genetics, in terms of viral dangers, is what allows and causes viruses to mutate to a different form so that vaccines don'r work, so that immune responses at the cellular level don't prevent infection. And rest assured that the genetic combinations driving the next influenze pandemic are already well underway. 20,000,000 people died of influenzae in the 1918 pandemic. The number is demographics, tracking those numbers and their causation is epidemiology. The mechanism that caused the highly lethal mutation is genetics. I guess you skipped those hard science classes. Not surprising. -- Stev Lenon 91B20 '68-'69 When the dawn came up like thunder http://web.tampabay.rr.com/stevglo/i...age92kword.htm |

Do you actually need more to worry about, or do you just like it when the
reasons are more plentiful TL, Tim My brother-in-law is a demographer, who has spent much of his career doing studies on birth rates vs education and access to birth control. I've spent enough years in clinical lab and other aspects of medicine that I pay attention to virus outbreaks and M&M studies. But those are second nature now, background worries unless someone brings them forward. What I worry about daily is getting some money from a belly-up homeowners' insurance company to fix the damage we incurred in hurricane Jeanne. Other than that, we pretty much take the days as they come and fish when we can. It's about 75 and sunny today. -- Stev Lenon 91B20 '68-'69 When the dawn came up like thunder http://web.tampabay.rr.com/stevglo/i...age92kword.htm |

![]() "rw" wrote in message nk.net... Because he had NO CHANCE OF WINNING! Which leaves me believing that you would think we both should have stayed at home on Nov. 2, 2004. So I should have voted for YOUR candidate? Why shouldn't I be able to vote for the candidate of my own choosing, regardless (sorry Jon) of his of her chances of winning? Does my vote for say Mickey Mouse for POTUS somehow void my right to express my social, political, or any other such opinions? If, that, it is in fact your belief, then by your logic one would have to have served in the military (or at the very least have proof that they had tried to become a service member, but were denied such by the military) to voice one's opinion on military matters--war included--right? Sometimes I get the impression that you think that because you vote a certain way, you're entitled to your preferred outcome. What on Earth would give you that impression? I get the distinct impression that you don't believe every American (legally able to vote)should have the right to vote for the candidate of their choosing for POTUS. Is this true? I say this because you have implied such. I certainly make no claims to a preferred outcome, but I do prefer outcomes that are just and fair. However, I don't necessarily have to like the resultant effect of said outcomes. Mark |

I must say I agree with Rdean on this one. I don't understand this selective communism, which seems to be based on the fact that some things used to be cheap in the us but aren't any more. You have to pay for your food, for your healthcare, for your housing, for your air travel: why should your fly-fishing, or Yellowstone Park be free? ( I think there are quite a few people who would pay a lot of money for Yellowstone, and probably manage the franchising much more efficiently) Why subsidize American farmers, who as far as I can see are totally uneconomic when food and cotton could be imported much more cheaply? I don't understand why they still have free high-school education in the States. If parents want an education for their children, why don't they pay for it? Am I right in thinking you even have free school buses? IF you want socialism in National Parks, fly fishing and school buses, then why not extend it to other areas? If I was going to fight for socialist something, I think it would be healthcare before fly-fishing. Lazarus -- Remover the rock from the email address |
