VRSA from a ball washer at one of his golf courses will educate him to the contrary.

It could happen.

I am opposed to cruelty and violence for the most part. So, I am mortified by some of what I've found myself imagining for Trump and his cronies. I despised Shrub and many of his crew, but don't recall feeling quite this level of venom against him.

I'm reticent on antibiotics research. We need better antibiotics. But if we create them, the first thing that'll happen is the drug companies will advertise them on TV, people will demand them for diseases penicillin still cures, and within a year we're looking at superantibiotic-resistant superbugs.

Germs don't discriminate. They'll infect you in your ragged jeans or your Armani suit and if Armani suit guy brushes past uninsured jeans guy, rich guy gets sick because jeans guy can't afford to see a doctor.
