"...but the article about the first successful human gene editing in the USA is nothing but crickets...."

True.  Most fall for the entertainment fluff and nothing else.  The article talking about how the Colorado VA hospital is one of the worst in decline in the nation had little traffic.  Go to the Trump transgendered boards and everyone's talking.  Kinda ticks me off.  

When it comes to taking care of our vets by giving them great medical and reducing/eliminating our propensity to put them in harms' way, the masses are largely silent.  But standing during a song shows you support them.  Pffft.
