Huh. Kind of interesting.

Helsing: Aug 23, 2003; DON'T POST IN THE ELECTION THREAD UNLESS YOU JOE BIDEN

His "Age of X" series are all available online in PDF form so yes, read him. They're aren't particularly narrative either so you could pretty much jump around and just read the specific chapters from each that look most interesting to you.

Setting aside all the moral problems with developing bioweapons, they're the most useless kind of weapons development program you can possibly have. If you develop a super bug that isn't seen in nature, then people are going to figure out it was you. Not to mention that the danger of creating an epidemic in your own forces or country is so high there's never a time when you'll want to use them anyway. Chemical weapons by comparison are highly controllable.

Bioweapons being an unusable boondoggle makes me more inclined to believe the US is pouring a bunch of money into it.

If they are messing around with mosquito and tick spread diseases it puts DARPA's research into gene drive technology into a creepier light.

Latinos are genetically predisposed to anime no matter the ideology. The guys who made that cool cyberpunk anime bartender game on steam (which is getting a sequel) are Venezuelans.

oh my god they are really doing this

quote:

No one could have less sympathy for Kavanaugh than we do.

However, the New York Times, Washington Post, leading Democratic Party officials and other establishment elements are attempting to block Kavanaugh�s nomination on the basis, once again, of an allegation of sexual misconduct, which in the absence of corroborating evidence remains nothing more than an allegation.
