That last quote is from Sam Telford III, an epidemiologist studying tick-borne diseases at Tufts University, who calls himself "the nation's biggest advocate for killing deer." Ticks rely on the blood of deer to reproduce, his argument goes. A single deer, Telford told me, can feed 1,500 female deer ticks, each of which can lay 2,000 eggs. That's 3 million deer ticks per deer, over one breeding season —even higher for the more fecund lone star tick. Killing deer is therefore "the biggest bang for your buck," he said. This strategy was most convincingly implemented in 1997 on Monhegan Island, off the coast of Maine, where residents fed up with Lyme disease hired a sharpshooter to cull all of the deer. After that, Lyme virtually disappeared from the island.
GOLIKEHELLMACHINE @golikehellmachine.com yes, this, too, and i am remiss for having said that at first. it's ghoulish as fucking shit to heap blame on an older rep for being old because they got injured in a fucking car wreck.

Substantial refreshments were brought by friends of the regiment, and John Percy of Plattsburgh presented several kegs of that moderately exhilarating beverage, mentioned by a patriotic German-Americanafter taking theoath of service, "One flag, one constitution, one country, and zwei lager." In the afternoon, the regiment was marched to City Hall Park, where additional refreshments were furnished by the proprietor of the Astor House. Towards evening, it re-embarked for Elizabethport, New Jersey, and, the next day, took the Jersey Central train for Washington, via Harrisburg and Baltimore. Before entering Baltimore the train was stopped, and the regiment called out and ordered to load their muskets preparatory to marching through Bal- timore, at which place they arrived soon after sunrise on the 29th, and marched across the city to President Street station, before manyof the residents were out of their houses.

And, finally, the third principle is to use the agencies of government to assist in the establishment of means to provide sound and adequate protection against the vicissitudes of modern life -- in other words, social insurance. Later in the year I hope to talk with you more fully about these plans. A few timid people, who fear progress, will try to give you new and strange names for what we are doing. Sometimes they will call it " Fascism", sometimes "Communism", sometimes "Regimentation", sometimes "Socialism". But, in so doing, they are trying to make very complex and theoretical something that is really very simple and very practical. I believe in practical explanations and in practical policies. I believe that what we are doing today is a necessary fulfillment of what Americans have always been doing -- a fulfillment of old and tested American ideals.
