Is Your Vet Real Or a Computer Simulation?
Many US veterinary schools no longer teach students how to operate on live dogs because they consider it unethical. Oddly enough, once they're in private practice, ethics never stop vets from charging us high fees to experiment with out live dogs. Isn't 'experimentation' the correct term when a vet has never performed a major surgery before?

How to Recognise Religious Persecution
The church of Scientology fervently claims that it is a persecuted religion, that the criticism of Scientology from the private, corporate and governmental sectors constitutes prejudice and an attack on the individuals right to religious freedom. The church of Scientology also claims that this "persecution" reflects the inherent bigotry of the organisations opponents. As a critic of the church of Scientology, I'd like to point out that I don't care what you choose to put your faith in.

What's Your Price?
Republican front man Rush Limbaugh recently posed a really interesting question on his morning AM radio talk show. He asked his listeners to consider if the oil giants in the Middle East decided they would inflate the price of oil to amounts even more substantial than they are right now, at what point would they refuse to pay it.
