Vote Democrat, live longer?

 

This article discusses a study with the conclusion, "Overall, our finding that Democratic counties have experienced steeper declines in mortality than Republican counties over the past two decades builds upon previous evidence suggesting that more liberal policies, laws, and regulations may be associated with better health outcomes."

Anyone have any counter citations?

"First Time In History": Cancer Vanishes For Every Patient In Drug Trial

Congratulations to the scientists who came up with this. I wonder about the genetics of the cured cancer in the different patients. Was this targeted at a particular mutation? Will it work for other mutations? In other words, if it worked for ass cancer, will it work for others? Hopefully larger trials see similar efficacy.

How long until it's available at Mark Cubans low cost drug company?

Ye Olde Everquest - The Original MMO

 

If you are really old in internet terms-- got my first email address in 1991-- then you may remember what a MUD is. Text based Multi-User Dungeon games.

Arguably, the first MUD with graphics was EverQuest and it's back in near original form thanks to Project 1999.
