Here we go again.

We can’t just cut and paste the entire article into Spew. Please select from the following:

1: On Of Course!

“It is easy (and convenient) to assume — when one is in a position of cultural power — that medical research does in fact increase human welfare. Of course, the opposite is true…”

2: On Asides Requiring A Deep Breath

“…(as is evidenced by the ever-increasing levels of disease, violence, famine, psychological trauma and emotional isolation that have become the modern human experience, as well as the abusive and manipulative use of medical technologies in the global South, despite the dedicated science of the monolithic medical research industry)…”

3: On Slavery, Genocide, Rape, and Pet Ownership

“Friskie’s life is only Travis’ to use when he reduces her to something less than alive and sentient. The same holds true for the victims of slavery, genocide, rape, clear-cutting and factory farming.”

4: On Thinly Veiled Threats

“The truth is, Travis, that you are not more worthy of life than Friskie…”

(I’m not really a fan of Willse’s pieces either, but that’s going a bit far.)

5: On You Know, There Was No Traffic Congestion Before Cars Were Invented

“Science and industry have thus far only managed to increase rates of cancer, depression, and other illnesses to unfathomable levels.”
