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
"All that's left is to select our victims [of DDT]. So far we've
selected the human being."
- outsider

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?

Both the House and Senate budget plan would cut Social Security and Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy.

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."

Just as I said, you're just playing with yourself. The book I
recommended would *introduce* you the math behind the various
pieces you were trying to cobble together into an irrational
result. Had you at least read the amazon.com reviews you
might have gotten an inkling what it was all about.

It's the horse and water thing all over again. You showed me
all right. Thanks!

"out" said (I shall paraphase) that we were killing people because we
had outlawed DDT. We didn't, but it's use has been limited in order to
keep it useful by denying mosquitos the chance to become resistant to it.

I gave the citation of
http://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...o-combat-malar
ia

You can go to the site right now, and see if you can refute the article.

Perhaps, I muddied the water some by writing that "Exposure to the
bubonic plague (or previously to small pox) seems to have imbued some
with resistance to HIV." I should have written "selected for resistance
to disease, which includes HIV".

This was in response to "out"'s cavalierly stating, "Ans (sic) since the
mosquito develops a resistance to the effects of DT, for example, so
will the penguins, and other lifeforms, over time." This is plausible,
but totally inhumane.

In any event it is a side issue, to the side issue that "out" injected
into the post. The point that I was trying to make was that Carson and
the environmental movement were‹and continue to be‹criticized by some
conservatives and libertarians as well as chemical industry trade
groups, who argue that restrictions placed on pesticides, specifically
DDT, have caused tens of millions of needless deaths and hampered
agriculture (and, implicitly, that Carson bears responsibility for
inciting such restrictions). This criticism is at its base corporate
propaganda. The reason that DDT is restricted is because of its effect
on the environment, including humans. To maintain the effectiveness of
DDT, and to fight mosquitos, Integrated Pest Management has been used.
In some case, like Central America, mosquito populations can be
controlled without DDT. In other cases, like Africa, DDT is a weapon in
the arsenal of health workers.

http://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...o-combat-malar
ia
Mexico, the rest of Central America and parts of Africa have combated
malaria without DDT by using alternative methods, such as controlling
stagnant ponds where mosquitoes breed and using bed nets treated with
pyrethroid insecticides. But such efforts have been less successful in
other places, particularly South Africa.

"We have a whole host of mosquito species and more than one parasite.
The biology of the vectors is different and there is therefore no
one-method-fits-all strategy, as is the case in Central America,"
Bouwman said.

The panel convened in March, 2008, at Alma College in Michigan, near a
Superfund site where DDT was produced at a chemical plant. Their goal
was "to address the current and legacy implications of DDT production
and use," according to their report.

Acknowledging that some areas remain dependent on DDT, they recommended
monitoring of the spraying to ensure that usage guidelines are followed
and improved application techniques.

"It is definitely not a matter of letting people die from malaria," de
Jager said.
---

That is my response to "out" and his "conspiracy" model of DDT use.

Look it up.

f=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312810518&sr=8-1
a book on chaos theory!

I asked for what the book says on the subject (HIV/bubonic plague), and
the relevant page numbers, which "out was unwilling, or unable to
provide. It appears that the was sending me on a "snipe-hunt" so that he
wouldn't have to defend his ignorant remarks.

"out", bite me.

All you have to do, "out", is make a statement, and then give a
supporting reference. Or, give me the statement, and the page number
where I can verify it. Is that really so hard for you, or is it that
somewhere in that dormant organ between your ears, you already know that
you made an indefensible statement?

You know that you must look really lame to the others in

now.

Until then, "out", bite me!
