The best part of that vid HAS to be the first 45 seconds. Dude's acting @ sec 1 like he's already been stung. He's breathless, nervous, looks like he's got the vapors.

And then they cut to the placement of the ant, and then the sting.

Great audio.

And I stand by my opinion as stated in post #2439.

This was put online by Bill Gates to show we don't know what we think we know. People die every day but not from what we think.

News is never about what we already know. How often does the news report that the orbit of Earth has not changed?

News can only report known changes. Most people who die even must have their estate pay for the obituary. Otherwise the media often does not report it. Just another same old - same old. Not newsworthy.

We can sing about "Here comes the Sun". But that past event is not newsworthy even where rain was happening every three days.

Why do you waste bandwidth repeating what was already stated?

And a lot more succinctly.

One sentence, not three paragraphs.

Because one sentence said so.

Extremist love everything explained in a sentence. Then they need not learn how to think. Easier is to wait to be ordered what to believe. Just another reason why moderates are the patriots. And why extremists admire Trump. Another paragraph that provides the always required reasons why - that succinct intentionally ignores.

Same extremists also knew communists were in the State Department and US Army. Succinct reasoning proved it. But this is also too long - too hard - for extremists to comprehend. So an extremist will only post insults. Following the example of their idol - The Don.

No wonder The Don is so popular. 140 characters is everything an extremist needs to know to be an expert.
