Antibiotics, which have saved millions of lives and, if they're prescribed judiciously and prudently, will save millions more (assuming the over-prescription that has occurred already doesn't make everyone antibiotic-resistant).

(realisiticly) take crime for example... you know how many today's killers would just walk away, cuz ther ewas no video tape, no expansive data base (from one state to another, to one continent to the other, and i mean shit like finger print registry) without computers you'd never be able to track someone down if they jumped countries... cuz all you'd have is what was on your area's books..Quote:
