...that spells danger!

And with people so immuno-compromised from poor nutrition and health habits, it would spread like wildfire. Just...no words...

lovely, just lovely...

And when the forces that fund their work is motivated purely by the profit margins exclusively, then the corruption of the vaunted ''scientific method'' is complete.

This is how you end up with GMOs poisoning the food supply.

This is how you end up with Koch Bros. soot from tar sands polluting the air we breathe.

This is how you have a firm like Monsanto spewing chemicals anywhere and everywhere for decades and still allowed to exist. If a person had killed as many people as they have, they'd be considered the century's worst mass murderers.

This is how you end up with an NSA that monitors your every word, email and purchase.

This is how you end up with a military with weaponry that can kill children on the other side of the world from the comfort of an easy chair in bunker in Arizona. And not have to worry about going to jail.

The scientific community has enabled our enslavement through their complicity, their greed, their absence of any moral underpinnings whatsoever and by their tunnel-vision and plain stupidity.

- Yes, brilliant people can be stupid as hell. That's why things are so f$!ked up......

And then there's this.....

I used to think that Wisconsin was a progressive state. "Recreation, Industry, Agriculture" as the state
welcome signs proclaim. An island of culture, learning and rationality.

But think of it - Wisconsinites elected Scott Walker to the governorship. (With the open support
of the Koch Brothers).

Then, after Walker attacked unions and public employees and gutted the educational system, he was subjected to a recall.

But - Wisconsinites elected him again. With the help of the Koch brothers (again).

Now, after witnessing such irrational behavior, why is anyone surprised that the University of Wisconsin
would go to great expense and trouble to create a hitherto non-existent, deadly, air transmissible flu virus?

Could the esteemed scientists who have created this Frankenstein monster please explain in layman's terms
exactly HOW the study of this virus is going to improve public health? Isn't the example of the Spanish flu enough?

Will you be testing it on student volunteers? Or maybe a blind test with a secret release in the Student Union?

What are you thinking?

Should I stop buying Wisconsin cheddar cheese before it's too late?
