A few things...
Topic: American Politics/News
While browsing the net a few days ago I discovered an old high school bud is currently serving in Iraq. Kevin is serving as a combat medic with the 1st Infantry Division, 6th Field Artillery. He's located at FOB Gabe, near Baqubah and should be returning in March. There is an article about him and his family in the Blanco County News.
********
By now, I'm sure most have heard of the metro train collision in Los Angeles. This collision, in which ten people died and 100 were injured, was caused by a suicidal man who parked his SUV on the tracks. At the last moment he abandoned his vehicle on tracks and watched the collision take place.
When I first read this yesterday I was shocked and outraged. Suicide in and of itself is a very selfish act. To place so many other lives at risk for your own selfish reasons is unbelievable. The man responsible has been charged with ten counts of murder, very appropriate in my opinion.
********
Wow, does anybody else find this distrubing? What happens if we actually go forward with this, will these new "sub-humans" have rights? Souls?
********
To close, a few words from Senator John McCain about the ridiculous behavior of Senate Dems during Condoleezza Rice's confirmation hearings.
Ditto.

Scientists have begun blurring the line between human and animal by producing chimeras—a hybrid creature that's part human, part animal.
Chinese scientists at the Shanghai Second Medical University in 2003 successfully fused human cells with rabbit eggs. The embryos were reportedly the first human-animal chimeras successfully created. They were allowed to develop for several days in a laboratory dish before the scientists destroyed the embryos to harvest their stem cells.

"So I wonder why we are starting this new Congress with a protracted debate about a foregone conclusion," McCain said. Since Rice is qualified for the job, he said, "I can only conclude that we are doing this for no other reason than because of lingering bitterness over the outcome of the election."

Jonathan... Nice Site and thanks for linking to the ZZ News and Satire site.
With regard to the article on the undecisive suicidal manic. The irony is he is now facing the death penalty! We've all heard of suicide by cop. I guess this is suicide by the State legal system. If the insanity plea sticks and this guy gets off, one has to ask if Dr.Kovorkian should not be paying a visit to his jail cell one evening while the state looks in the other direction.
On chimeras... YES... VERY DISTRUBING. There was a picture of a fish circulating on last week that looked like it had a human face... guess where it was found. Korea. Why do I get the feeling that the human race will end up like the dinosaures... another failed experiment in evolution... this time because our brains evolve technology faster than we could develope common sense. Steve Hawking had it right when he said if he chose a different profession it would be genetics because our genes can't keep up with our technical knowledge. We are still wired like primatives mentally.
