Prof. Kornberg insulted in a sense?

Roger D. Korberg, Nobel Laurette for chemistry 2006. Something to do with eucaryotic transcription. The potential of his findings might as well change they way medicine is practised, but also allow space for debates on ethics... would it be possible to grow an arm? Treat AIDS? Make a more potent strain of anthrax? Rejuvenation? The possibilities are endless.
Anyways, we already know the functions of DNA transcriptase. Basically its how we replicate DNA material. Forensics have long ago used reverse transcription methods. Same goes to medical research regarding microbs specifically viruses.
Anyways, he was interviewed recently live on tv. Geuss who the interviewer was.... a TV Host or Pengacara TV. I mean.... the bloody professers a Nobel Prize winner!!!!!!! Why the fuck does he have to be interviewed by a bloody tv host... and not by a professor of chemistry/biology/biotech/molecular biology/or whatever fucking field related??? Malaysia has to stop insulting the academia. I did notice that Kornberg was being polite... but i sure bet deep inside he's asking himself who the hell is this high school kid thinking he understands complex molecular chemistry, am i on a show for kindergarden kids????? Hell,even i wanted to know details of the processes involved, even if it was a little peek. Its not often we get such esteemed academics flying in Malaysia... and the TV host just HAD to fuck things up.
The Gaza strip is getting a wee bit hotter these days. What we don't know and what isn't told by the media is how many Palestinians die each day. Pray. Pray we win over them. Pray no more moslem blood is spilled. We can only pray, at least most of us. I know a guy who literally tookup arms and joined the fight.
Met some keadilan members yesterday. Might be joining camp in KT. Kalau rajin.
