"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

Thanks, Melinda L. Secor, for bringing this "overuse of antibiotics" to our attention. While we are busy 'playing politics', life on Earth is being endangered, perhaps irreversibly, with stuff like "overuse of antibiotics", man-made chemicals in our so-called food, and genetically engineered organisms. I shiver to think what kind of world we are leaving to our posterity.
