Reading a chronological history, biologists traced the HIV-resistance
gene mutation back about 700 years. That was the time at which the Black
Death -- bubonic plague -- swept like a deadly scythe through Europe,
killing one-third of the population. Then, as now, there were
individuals who survived the lethal organism, perhaps because it could
not enter their white blood cells. The areas that were hardest hit by
the Black Plague match those where the gene for HIV resistance is the
most common today.
Correlation is not causation.
That's what the tobacco companies used to say, but it sure pin-pointed
where to look for the answer.
Natural universe, perhaps not, but in scientific modeling (premise,
hypothesis, conclusion, new hypothesis based on the synthesis of new
information, ad infinitum) it is about all we have except for the
occasional paradigm shifting revelations grated to the few. What you
offer are interesting, unconnected, misleading factoids that prove
nothing.
We agree to disagree.
You agree that

That is an opinion with no supporting evidence.
But do let me know if/when you've actually read
something worthwhile about Chaos (internet web pages of the same value
as printed material are few) and have some understanding of the topic.
It is a growth area for most folks and I think your take on what you've
published here will probably change.
Your patronizing tone is amusing in that you have offered no proof to
support your own opinions, and only offer a book that isn't even written
on the subject. Why don't you just give me the quote, and the page
number, and then I can show everyone how lame you are. How about that?
Hummm?

Both the House and Senate budget plan would cut Social Security and Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy.
Kucinich noted that none of the government programs targeted for
elimination or severe cutback in House Republican spending plans
"appeared on the GAO's list of government programs at high risk of
waste, fraud and abuse."

[W]e have the situation with the deficit and the debt and spending and jobs. And itıs not that difficult to get out of it. The first thing you do is you get rid of corporate welfare. Thatıs hundreds of billions of dollars a year. The second is you tax corporations so that they donıt get away with no taxation.
