Willow ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I don't understand for celebs what the upside of a sex tape is, that it overrides the risk of losing it.
Me neither, unless you believe that no publicity is bad publicity.
Which, given Tom Cruise's behavior earlier this year and the box office performance of War of the Worlds, isn't unfounded.
Still, Indiana has a special relationship with the history of eugenics.
I really think this is the history that needs to be taught. This is when you really get how fucked up our history has been at an institutional level.

Well, there's no way to tell what the box office would have been without the shenanigans. It's a pretty high-profile-laden enterprise. And if the rumours that Spielberg won't work with him again are true, I think it's a bit Pyhrric.
Then there was the whole Tuskeegee experiment thing. Yeah, I can see where there's a certain level of suspicion re: mass medicine issues.
But I still think Nigerians should vaccinate for polio. Apparently some folks there think that the polio vaccines are designed to make the women sterile. Which is why Yemen is dealing with polio for the first time in years. Disease doesn't respect national borders.
1882 Richmond Indiana resident Dr. Joseph Iutzi publishes “Heredity and Its Relations to Disease,” which argues that insanity, tuberculosis, and syphilis, among other diseases, are predominantly inherited.
Hey, that's my home town! And I'd like to point out that he's two-for-three: syphilis can indeed be contracted congenitally, and was a common cause of infant disease. There's a strong genetic link for some kinds of insanity (notably schizophrenia and depression). And God knows that in 1882, you'd be noticing that entire families had tuberculosis.
New nickel.

Same one, new angle.
syphilis can indeed be contracted congenitally
Was it transmitted this way predominantly, though?
