Suleman says she's not a welfare case, and that her children won't be either. But the hard reality is that without taxpayer dollars, the top quality care they got would not have been there.
While doctors, hospital resources, and social services are and will be devoted to the Suleman clan, others will be forced to do without. This is our modern American reality.
A vaccine profiteer personified (he is now a multimillionaire from his partnership with Merck) Dr. Offit continues to make intellectually and factually dishonest remarks regarding vaccine safety.

Being opposed to vaccine-autism research puts one outside of the "mainstream," a charge which is an ugly lie perpetrated by vaccine industry allies and their blind supporters.
Domestic violence is a universal problem blind to income, age, race, status, religion, and physical appearance.
If federal legislation for legalizing marijuana included taxes that would help pay for the bailout or create a million or more jobs, it's hard to imagine Barack-who-inhaled-Obama vetoing the bill.
Love is in the air, Happy Valentine's! Everywhere we see red hearts beaming from cards and boxes of chocolates. A red heart as the symbol of love is d...
Wanting to light a candle rather than to curse the darkness, I got together with some health activists and especially the leadership team at Doctors for Obama to organize a quick petition drive.
Gupta downplays safety risks in treatments, and was criticized for his reporting on Vioxx, a pain medication that was withdrawn from the market in 2004 because it causes heart attacks.

FUD
No one ever mentions all the pollution from battery production!
Where does that fit into the discussion.

BioDiesel really seems the way to go but I hear so little about it. What gives?

We could all go back to driving a horse & buggy, except then you'd have to worry about stepping in a pile of fresh horse droppings, slipping and breaking your neck from the fall.

Go put on your tinfoil hats.
I'm certainly an old-fashioned "clinging to my pistons" type of guy with cars, but fearing for health risks from driving an electric car is unreasonable. Certainly the more conventional risks of driving are much more of concern than any EMFs; I'd be more concerned with the one from my cell phone (and I'm not).
There are EMFs in the Internal Combustion (IC) cars that we use today, and no one has cried out that those EMFs are dangerous.
How much, if any, are the EMFs in hybrids, PHEVs, and EVs, stronger than what we are already exposed to?
