Don't think that is true anymore ... there are lots of qualified Malaysians, Indonesians, Indians and Pakistanis who will work for $10 an hour and be happy about it.
Didn't you also support Unicef in Kongo and helped fertilize endangered Rhinos in Tanzania? You must have forgotten about that - ah yeah, and the novels you wrote during your sabbatical while travelling down the Ganges on a house boat ...
> I really hope twitter somehow makes money. I would be willing to pay a subscription fee if that helps it sustain. Facebook, I'd rather see die in the hottest fires of all the hells.

Lot of people are smoking and will readily justify it with anecdotal evidance proving that smoking isn't really that bad at all - "you know there was this 105 year old Japanese guy and they asked him how he got that old and he said he stopped smoking at the age of 99 ..."

"After thoroughly reviewing the accumulated scientific literature, a Working Group of 22 experts from 10

probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A), based on limited evidence that the consumption of red meat
causes cancer in humans and strong mechanistic evidence supporting a carcinogenic effect."
