It seems all those emo kids in middle schools around the country finally have an excuse for their ridiculousness. I remember reading an article a while back that found evidence that amphibians are having a lot of problems with this kind of thing. I cannot remember where it was and I'm not looking for it right now. However, the basis of that article was that amphibians were likely the canary in the mine. It is a serious issue and since most chemicals receive little real testing there will be more stuff like this popping up. We can only guess how it is going to affect us since realistically, we're not all going to be affected in the same way.
I see stuff like this occasionally and it bugs me. Do we pay so little attention that history that we haven't figured out that this kind of stuff is garbage? I don't care why you did it. If you did it, that's what matters. Anything else is irrelevant. We now face the prospect of thought police competing with DNA police on how best to screw us over for not being some bureaucrat's ideal citizen. Is personal responsibility so terrifying?
