What are the essential characteristics of viruses ?
Nirmala Agarwal
Viruses are the most primitive cellular and non-cytoplasmic infectious agents. Russian botanist D.J. Iwanowski (1892) [ LOL ] first discovered virus in an infected tobacco plant. However, M.W. Beijerink (1898) coined the term virus. Then American chemist W.M. Stanley (1935) isolated pure crystal of Tobacco Mosaic Viruses (TMV) and concluded that viruses are made of nucleoproteins.
General Characteristics of Viruses:
(i) Viruses are a cellular non-cytoplasmic infectious agents.
"Many on the political right simply can’t get this diversity thing right — and I deeply doubt that they want to. Theirs is a bone-deep contempt for otherness, a congenital belief in the superiority -inferiority binary, a circle-the-wagons, zero-sum view of progress, prosperity and power." http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=87878099
(ii) They are smaller than bacteria, and this can pass through bacteriological filter.
.. to obstruct Obama 'all the way' from his very first inauguration day is SMALL .. and, as you very well know
GOP virus came to mind in thinking of how GWB had weakened the USA, and that the post Obama inauguration GOP obstructionism and paranoiac conspiracy consciousness had weakened about every aspect of US society (except the filthy rich) so much more .. shite .. even in a mini microcosm moment of delusion thought it might be even a bit original, but no .. lol .. the idea, of course, has been spreading for some time .
Edit: .. just saw this one from the embedded link above ..
The CDC (Center for Disease Control) is worried about the spread of the Haute Virus. IMO, the GOP needs to be seriously concerned about the virus that now seems to be running amuck in their own party:
(CNN) - "Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee both had harsh words for conservative strategist Karl Rove on Sunday after Rove joked about murdering GOP U.S. Rep. Todd Akin, whose controversial comments about rape and pregnancy drew the ire and condemnation of most Republicans. Both Gingrich and Huckabee referred to former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords as they condemned Rove's joke.
"We should sink Todd Akin. If he's found mysteriously murdered, don't look for my whereabouts," Rove said Thursday at a private fund-raiser..."
The Hate Virus seems to be intensifying as election day nears. The GOPers could always be counted on for using the fear factor, but Obamabashing seems to be feeding the Hate Virus. The Hate Virus is now being carried by the top members of the party. Hate gays; hate pro-choicers; hate women; hate immigrants- now we are getting down to individuals. sounds like some sort of Godfather pronouncement doesn't it? .. http://forums.abcnews.go.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=1&nav=messages&webtag=ABCGMA&tid=56834
Actually looks like a family of viruses .. they do mutate, we know .. LMAO!
