…is taking new antibiotics an act of bad faith?

Given, you know, that they’re designed to counter the evolution of disease organisms into more resistant forms?

Just asking. Prompted, probably, by the news that our governor here in Minnesota, Tim Pawlenty, has endorsed teaching creationism in schools here.
