A lot of our problems come from greed and perverse lobbyists. We could have prevented PCB poisoning in Anniston, Alabama, we could prevent tons of cancers and fetal defects from pesticide overuse in South America, we do not need braindead shit like bovine growth hormone in the West which is banned all over Europe, we can prevent the spread of STIs by using condoms, we can teach students how to prevent teenage pregnancy and should teach them basic biology such as evolution. We have a constitution declaring a separation between church and state in nearly every Western country but yet we fail to deliver. We can prevent antibiotic resistance by stopping overuse of antibiotics in raising animals which are only employed to prevent infection stemming from concentrating animals in cages or are used to make animals get fatter in a shorter time. Only thing I don't get - if you poison people for a lot of money I can at least logically understand it. But these idiots do it for very few money. Why? We're talking a few billions here. Not trillions. Billions and even less.
