CommentsRe: Political Indigestion
I was intrigued by the annotation "UNM FlyBase/VectorBase" after Phillip W. Baker Ph.D.'s signature and discovered, thanks to The National Center for Biomedical Ontology ([link])that VectorBase is one of eight Bioinformatics Resource Centers funded by NIAID to provide web-based resources to scientific community conducting basic and applied research on organisms considered potential agents of biowarfare or bioterrorism or causing emerging or re-emerging diseases, while the FlyBase project is carried out by a consortium of Drosophila (a genus of small flies, belonging to the family Drosophilidae, whose members are often called "fruit flies") researchers and computer scientists at: Harvard University, University of Cambridge (UK), Indiana University and the University of New Mexico. In any case a Google search returns zip for this individual and as Marie Curie once observed: “there are sadistic scientists who hurry to hunt down errors instead of establishing the truth" ...which is also a characteristic of pissants (in of course a social rather then entomological context).

Seems to me that basing a decision to not vote for Duran because of her campaign stance on voter photo identification is a poor choice. Setting aside the evidence of Herrera's total incompetence, if Duran is elected she'll still have to get the legislature (which will continue to be dominated by Democrats) to change the state's election code to include a photo ID requirement - which judging by past Republican efforts to implement this is something that's simply not going to happen. In any case, if one considers that 49% of N.M. voters are registered as Democrats and 32% as Republicans, doesn't not voting for Duran just amount to increasing Herrera's chances for remaining in office and her being able to continue abusing the office of the Secretary of State ...is that what you're endorsing? |
