Celebrity and “family values moralist” Bill Cosby’s recent admissions to having drugged women in order to sexually assault them has caused some old issues to resurface as the 2016 elections draw near.

When the 3M Bair Hugger warming blanket was introduced in 1988, it seemed like a good idea. Under anesthesia, the patient’s body temperature drops. Maintaining the normal body temperature at around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit reduces bleeding and decreases recovery time. The device has been also effective for the treatment of hypothermia in patients suffering from exposure. However, the heated forced air that comes in contact with the patient’s body also circulates under the table, where bacteria may hitch a ride and wind up in patient incisions. The resulting infections have led to a growing number of lawsuits. Bair Hugger’s...

In 2013, a pair of animal rights activists went on a journey to free over 5,700 minks being raised for the purpose of making fur coats for well-heeled women. Over a six-month period, the couple went on to vandalize homes and buildings belonging to those they knew to be connected to the fur industry. Breeding records were destroyed as well as furs.

Such a violation carries a ten-year prison term and a fine...
