camwyn... I have reached my limit on all the war news I can handle for today, and my limit on fear of what people are accepting as 'normal' because such acceptance is easier than thinking - on either side of the war issue, mind - because of this, I am not reading or watching any more war news today.
There is stuff going on in the world that doesn't involve Iraq. There's stuff going on that doesn't involve Korea. Hell, there's stuff going on that doesn't even involve the United States. And some of it's pretty fscking cool. Here, courtesy of BBC News Online:
South Africa's indigenous San peoples have signed a deal ensuring they will profit from a diet drug being developed from a plant they have used for generations. Under the terms of the agreement, the San people will receive regular fees as the drug - developed from a plant used to suppress the appetite - passes various stages on the way to market. They will also receive a proportion of the royalties if and when it becomes commercially available, which could be in as little as five years.
