on the predators

Thanks for that. I am enjoying commenting on that one.

If that was your best, you suck. You didn’t mention (stretching here, since I don’t know the area) disparagingly: some music genre, southern (pick a noun), confederate flags, a brand of pickup.

Google ads accompanying your article in the sidebar:

“Genome Wide Array: Discover and validate novel genes!” and “Gas Station for Sale. Search for gas station real estate!”

Quite absurd until you realize that Google isn’t so stupid after all. They picked up the keyword “predators” in your post and automatically matched it to real estate agents and pharmaceutical companies.

The problem with economic comparisons like this is that you can use them to contrast anything with anything else. It’s just so totally sad/ironic/infurating that all this money is spent on X and not on Y? Except that the comparison is vapid, because money is fungible by definition.

Also you are a big fat dummy head.
