It *SHOULD NOT* be less that 192kbps, but is it?

Or perhaps we're actually living in the Twilight Zone and God is a 6 year old boy.

Too bad the new organisms don't get a few years of safety study.

*IF* that pesticide has no biological mechanism of interacting with humans, being scared of it is stupid.

The pesticides in the plants we eat now other than the GMOs have had a thousand years of human testing. Further, if they were at all inclined to cross with some wild non-food species to gain something more toxic to humans, they more than likely would have by now.

Compare to something that has had zero years of human testing and in some cases no animal testing.

That I find more believable and far less serious. Some of the comments here make it sound like he's telling people to replace insulin and heart medication with lettuce or something.

Another inarguable point is that the plants bred a thousand years ago have had a thousand years of human testing.

Name a bacterium that infects both jellyfish and corn and has a habit of swapping genes with it's host.

There are actually a few differences that can have real consequences. For example, simple cross breeding is a fairly slow and limited process that gives us time to see if a problem is developing. It is further limited by the need to stick with plants that can cross-breed in the first place.

Another factor is that not all genetic modification techniques lead to the plants breeding true. The next few generations may be substantially different from the original.

If the work was being done in a verifiable cautious manner, it might be OK, but there is a history of modifications that "can't escape to the wild" being spotted in the wild. It's somewhat amusing the number of weeds that gained roundup resistance from roundup ready canola. Also amusingly, in spite of Monsanto's claim that only their transgenic techniques could have produced roundup ready crops, traditional breeding has managed it in a few cases including in coca.

Agreed, but it might not be smart to eat plants that manufacture an unaccustomed pesticide or an unusually large amount of it.

Genuine curiosity, what is he advocating that actually endangers his patients (or anyone else's) health?

The simplicity of a salt isn't the issue, it's the size. More salt confounds the process.

As for the question of your ballot being void, you can't know. Any more than you can know that your ballot didn't somehow end up in the river or burning in someone's fireplace before it made it's way to be counted (as I said, not perfect).

However, the election officials and press observers can know if a lot of void ballots get checked from residential addresses (remember, validating void ballots triggers an investigation). Presumably, the large number of void ballot validations after the election might cause such measures as enabling voters to check if their ballot is void or not (now that the election is over and the controversy is starting to boil).

At that point, nobody will be able to prove that their particular ballot was meant to count but was issued void, but there will be enough people complaining that it becomes evident something is wrong and likely of a criminal nature.

White House guards were busy guarding the White House. This guy landed at the Capitol building.

You seem really desperate to see him as public enemy #1. I can see that nothing short of major brain surgery can change your mind. Certainly the absence of anything happening and their apparent inability to get a warrant hasn't convinced you.

If law enforcement walked past you, stopped, then turned and looked right at you, you're saying you are too clueless to guess you are of interest to them? Sorry to hear that.

Not the Pu, but most everything else. But Pu is low level waste.

I'm cheering for AMD for much the same reasons. I'm also hedging my bet with ARM.
