Two things: First, the term 'blog' might be commonly considered as an abbreviation for 'web log', but as long as the current phenomenon has existed, it has never been explicitly reffered to as such. Rather, blog initially meant any means of instant mechanized publication and/or syndication, and in it's current form happens to utilize 'the web' and it's protocols but the concept is not bound to it. In this case, it might not constitute a proper 'blog' by most people's perceptions -- however the end result is basically the same. Think of it as 'ye old blog', as some people have described the chalk board as 'ye old wiki'. Second, the more important aspect of this article is the bio lab itself; I feel as these people seem to that it is an insanely terrible idea beyond comprehension. It is in fact so asinine that I am not sure how it has even made it this far.. the money and clout of BU probably the most likely causes. In any case, it is extremely poor judgment to locate dangerous pathogens in a metropolitan area -- DUH, haven't thet seen The Andromeda Strain? What do they think the deserts are for?
