For example, I am good at basketball and investing money but I can't play pool worth shit. No matter how hard I try, I can't play pool worth a goddam thing. And even though I am good at basketball, there are many people better at it than I am ( that is why I am not in the NBA right now). But if I was 3-4 inches taller I might be in the NBA. But God (or my parents however you want to look at it) didn't make me 6'5. And I never said people should be exterminated,I just said that that the world is based on survival of the fittest, and this bird flu should be no exception.

Why let it happen when you can prevent it from happening.. That's just flat out ignorant to me. People should just stop taking medicines and just let nature heal them.. Let's see whose the fittest your body or the illness.. I think that's really barbaric to think that way. You are coming back to a single point over and over again.. when it's pretty much proved that the world can't go on this way. Sometimes you have to go against your instincts.

For those of you just tuning in...we were discussing avian borne influenza.

Do we have any pre-med or med students here that can elaborate on biogenetics and influenza?

I know you're out there.

I got sidetracked. Anyway, forgetting about survival of the fittest,I think you guys are being a little bit paranoid. If we start freaking about this bird flu nonsense then we should also start freaking out about everything else. For example, the fact that Russia's nuclear weapons are not being guarded worth shit. Or that hurricanes are supposedly getting worse because of the greenhouse effect. I think we should leave this crap to the people who actually know what they are doing. I am sure the good people at the Center for Disease Control have a plan. And if they don't, there is nothing any of us can do about it anyway.

They normally would have a plan but the leader for the CDC is one of dubyas close friends. So we are screwed.

Well even if we are screwed then we are screwed. What the hell are either you or I supposed to do about it?

I dunno I guess we can whine about it start our own coven destroy the world our way or get rich before we all die i dunno.

To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

What do you want to know?

Explain in simple terms for us that sit in the back row of the class room, like yours truly, how recombination works for starters please.

Okay, this is going to sound cliche, but I literally just got home from the hospital, so let me sleep a few hours and we can delve into the wonderful world of pathogens and genetics.
