I also invest in pharmeceudicals--I even have a dog in this avian flu race. Lit about new meds is full of cautionary qualifiers and "indications" "maybes" -- the way real scientists who do real accountable science talk.

When you try to help people for money, and end up killing them, it's not quite the same thing as all this theorizing into prehistory. You can't just shrug and say, "well, add a few million years to the formation." Ultimately, whether these evos are right or wrong will matter not a whit.

It is possible that all this passion for the Temple of Science is bogus. This could just be a way to try to alienate some voters from the GOP. The more I get called paranoid, the more I think I'm on the right scent--for at least some of these jokers.
