Proposal for a Better World: Antibiotic Island
So, for a few years, I've been talking about this idea I have. Everyone who refuses to understand the difference between a virus and a bacteria gets a nice island to live on, and drop shipments of all the damn antibiotics they want. All those people who insist on antibiotics when little Timmy gets a cold? Antibiotic Island. All those farmers who give their chickens/cows constant low-dose antibiotics? Antibiotic Island. All those doctors who give out sample bottles of cipro ear-drops for earache "just in case?" Antibiotic Island.
Ideally, this would actually be a moon (maybe Thebe), to reduce the possibility of contamination form the horrific super-bugs they generate. Here on earth, a bunch of auto-cannons would probably do okay. Better, at least, than our current situation.

Antiboitics: ur doin' it rite (If ur Norway)
