  1. Zephram Cochrane wants to design a warp drive. No. We're perfectly fine with chemical rockets. Put him in prison.

  2. Agreed, although the BELIEF that human beings are moral or ethical or lawful is simply nonsense. As is the BELIEF that other species that we share the planet with are. Human beings, as a whole, are the apex predators of the planet. Question; would a moral or ethical or lawful species utilize the tools of mass warfare (murder) like the internet or say, a smart phone(which was originally used as part of the control/command system of a smart weapon)? Morality, ethics, laws...abstractions, like religion. Like my favorite; moral relativism. We are first and foremost survivors...and we as a species will destroy that which keeps us from surviving. Even each other.

  3. I take 81mg of aspirin everyday as a proactive. Natural pain killers and/or prophylactics(in my case) do exist. However, we're talking about hundreds of years of recombination with other substances to make it more effective. In other words, natural substances + science = effective. The garbage sold by most homeopathic quacks is just that...sugar mixed with...whatever.
