Whisky Made From Diabetics' Urine 226

It's doubtful that any other distillery will come up with a whisky that tastes like Gilpin Family Whisky because of its secret ingredient: urine. Researcher and designer James Gilpin uses the sugar rich urine of elderly diabetics to make his high-end single malt whisky. From the article: "The source material is acquired from elderly volunteers, including Gilpin's own grandmother, Patricia. The urine is purified in the same way as mains water is purified, with the sugar molecules removed and added to the mash stock to accelerate the whisky's fermentation process. Traditionally, that sugar would be made from the starches in the mash."

So you would advocate the thought police?
Why should I be subjected to scrutiny because someone from a warmer sandier climate wants to blow me up? Seems like the wrong person is under the radar. And here in Canada Muslim women are allowed to board planes without having to lift their veils to prove their face matches the one on the passport in the name of political correctness. Can you paint me what is wrong with this picture?

If can and do are separate things like you say why don't they have to prove someone is a terrorist before they scan them? The possibility that someone "can" be a terrorist, by your logic is not enough of a reason to scan someone. A terrorist would have to "do" something first.

and slowly bringing it to a boil.
Seems like that has been happening all over the world the last few years. Phase things in gradually so people don't notice, but always under false pretence. But what does in it matter to the government? There will never be another revolution of any kind because now they have the technology to stop any kind of uprising (isn't the constitution against the government keeping a standing army?)

As an employer I am legally responsible for the employee's and sub-contractors under me while they are on my job site. That why I have insurance. Now why is this agent of douche-baggery not responsible? Should big companies have different rules than small companies? The big companies already get bail outs when they make stupid decisions. How much is this particular fiasco going to cost taxpayers in the end?

Do you know how long the IPCC report is? It's effing huge. If the worst things the denialists can find after going through it with a fine toothed comb are what amounts to a typo, a misstatement, and a bad calculation, that is amazing.
Now replace "IPCC report" with Bible your logic is greatly flawed my friend.
