Fortunately for the old practices and science alike, longitudinal studies with huge populations are the gold standard for measuring effectiveness.

This also shows why US states need to secede from the union.

When you are browsing the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it is important to look at the several metrics they measure for unemployment. BLS reports U-3 as "The Unemployment Rate", but many people feel that U-6 is a better measure of unemployment.

Poor aesthetics cause psychological harm through both distraction and pure ugliness. I shouldn't have to combat decades of scientific research on attention-stealing simply to maintain my train of thought as I walk down the street.

Not so clear. Many advertisers will quickly disavow this approach, and freely admit they instead aim to create vague positive feelings for the brand.

Is my post or the parent somehow committing this fallacy? I explicitly used the same verb for genetic modification on behalf of both subjects: man and nature. The distinction between the subjects is because bacteria and insects ('nature') will devour all of humankind's nutritional resources if people don't continually labor to prevent it. It's a speciesist distinction, but not a fallacious one.

I don't think it is reasonable to assume anything but heat death will win the resource battle in this universe.

Why is this being downvoted? Are people assuming we can out-engineer nature forever? Single-breed farming makes for a brittle food chain.

Article seems very confident that farmers will be more able to afford bt brinjal more than they can currently afford pesticides. Where is the evidence this skeptic has presented that argues that Monsanto is interested in reducing its profit streams from Indian farming? Once granted a monopoly on bt brinjal, no corporation would voluntarily reduce its revenues rather than increase the price of bt brinjal. Farmer debt incurred from Monsanto-style agriculture is causing incredible rates of suicide across India, and Monsanto has a legal obligation to its shareholders to keep it that way.

I agree, but would prefer to keep the standards high for the public rather than see the courses separated. I enjoyed the first few ml-class lessons, but I quickly became bored with the difficulty level.

Even fan is already enough of an insult. I refuse to be a fanatic about anything.

We don't mind. We're doing just fine without more west coast transplants complaining about the heat :)
