Doctor Who Performed Abortions Is Shot to Death – NYTimes.com.

Horrible. The price we all are paying, for confusing freedom with omnipotence. Freedom doesn´t mean we can do anything. To be against abortion is to be in favor of life, even if we are talking about the life of a doctor dedicated to exterminate the unborn.

The world is NOT better with a new killer in it. 

Where we all missed the way?

War Without Borders – In Heartland Death, Traces of Heroin’s Spread – Series – NYTimes.com.

I wonder if American and Mexican politicians and citizens, are aware that Mexico and USA are going to be neighbors forever.

I think it’s naive to think on walls on borders, as if isolation was a solution of anything. 

North Korea – by the way – that’s a country with walls, completely isolated.

First, TG he is with mom again. It is unbelievable how some criminals dare to do such a horrible thing.

Secondly, no wonder why some Americans just hate Mexicans, because almost every criminal near the border feels free once in Mexico, and popular culture doesn’t help too much. I mean, all those “police action” movies, in which criminals escape, running away to a Mexican beach are just like a promise for a poor minded criminal.

Third, we Mexicans shouldn’t take as an offense the use of the right the American Government is entitled to, to set a system to control the border, keeping an absolutely detailed log and historic file on every individual that crosses it.

If American people are now pushing their Congress to hurry with a Migratory Reform, it’s because there is an urgency for US to bring out of the shadow all those individuals that, otherwise, will keep living underground, in touch with dangerous gangs in towns and cities.

Here in Mexico, as well as the government, army and police forces are literally giving their lives in the pursuit of security, we all should also push our own Congress to make more changes, so we can achieve the economic growth we need to keep our fellow citizens in here.

Two countries that are neighbors can’t just move to another side of the world, we are tied up for ever. So, it is about time to understand each other’s needs and POVs.

What do you think?

One virus, two versions, one of those resistant to Tamiflu?

Here is a link to a document published en 1986, titled: “Ammonium chloride slows transport of the influenza virus hemagglutinin but does not cause mis-sorting in a polarized epithelial cell line”.

If you read the PHAC reports (FluWatch), you will find a new version of the H1N1 were out there weeks before the first influenza outbreak registered by Canada in the week ending on december 6th, 2008. This version is 100% resistant to Tamiflu. 

Here is a news report from Milenio Diario and El Universal (both Mexican newspapers), reporting that on october 25th, 2008 the downtown and coast side near the Port of Veracruz was evacuated, due an ammonia toxic cloud, caused by an accident. (the report is in spanish).

 

 

Could it be possible that the accident had turned Veracruz and sorroundings into a big laboratory, changing the already present H1N1 virus‘ form, or reducing it’s virulence?

Is there more to be concerned about?
