• A reply on Talk: Angela Belcher: Using nature to grow batteries

  May 17 2013: I'm sure they would use current testing procedueres. My worry are the unforseen dangerous potentials that are not included due to them being unknown! I do realize that sometimes Science has to push the envelope in discovery, but it's not like they are working in a Biocontainment 5 Lab. From what I saw in the video did not appear to show the type of containment I would like to see when dealing with the unknown. Since this a relativly new application of Gene/DNA manipulation there must be unknowns. Now I don't think that an extreme level of containment is needed, but I do feel that a higher level of contaiment is needed from what I saw in the video. Thanks for the reply.. R.S...

  A reply on Talk: Thomas Insel: Toward a new understanding of mental illness

  Apr 16 2013: Thanks for the link as I have always had some selfworth issues of my own, that at times seem overwelming, (especially recently). I also suffer from PTSD and Anxiety disorder but these do not cause my feelings of no selfworth. Though to date I have never tried it the thought has crossed my mind many many times..The thing that always saves me is the thought that things will be better tomorow or at least soon. Thanks...

• A reply on Talk: Ron Finley: A guerilla gardener in South Central LA

  Apr 5 2013: Thank You Rob for the Clarification. I did go back to read all of your comments and you are correct in your reply to me. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I have gotten so used to negative comments in this world when someone is "Thinking Outside The Box" I sometimes comment out of frustration.
