Video: Stephen Colbert, Libertarian Right to sell dysentery in Raw milk

So much for that worthless crap coming from some idiot Frenchman named Louis Pasteur. They even had the Gaul to name the process called "pasteurization" after him. Science is such a joke!

It wasn’t until 1914—compelled by a typhoid epidemic linked to unpasteurized milk—that New York City finally enforced a pasteurization rule. Seven years later, the city’s infant death rate, which had hovered at an appalling 240 of every 1,000 live births, had dropped to 71 deaths per 1,000, a victory many credited to pasteurization.

Pasteurization was originally concerned with keeping the diseases out of beer and wine. It is a proven scientific fact that the simple process of heating liquids up kills microbes in beer, wine and milk that cause diphtheria, salmonellosis, strep throat, scarlet fever, listeriosis, brucellosis, tuberculosis and typhoid fever.

The video explains well both the silly side of organic "vibrating food" from the Left and the "I demand the right to sell you diphtheria" on the Libertarian Right. What a crazy mix of ying-yangs.

But there is something to their demand to choose to suffer horrible pain, disease and death. A sort of Darwin Award kind of thing which I respect. After all eugenics isn’t all bad.

Which reminds me of something I have always wondered about under by breath regarding education. Has anyone ever given any thought that the problem may be that our kids are just getting dumber and dumber? Or is that out of bounds?  Like Faith, Troops and Neo Cons?
