Slow Friday


I read where the American Civil Liberties Union is suing a company for patenting human genes. We better hope the A.C.L.U. wins, 'cause if they don't, it will give corporate America the right to own tiny pieces of each of us. In this case, Myriad Genetics now holds patents so that they and they alone may provide research to help fight types of cancer. No one else will be allowed to do research on the disease without permission.

If you are dead, you may still be able to receive a Social Security stimulus check. Waste no time cashing and spending it!

Got my shot ... again.

There must have been super-heavy storms in the area last night, some dumping inches of rain in only minutes.

No yard sale this weekend; both Ashley and Chris have to work. Supposed to rain, too.

Well you and I could sell them our genes, as two unique Americans we could command high dollars for our information.

Hopefully this kind of garbage gets out to a stop. This really has big implications.

What better way for the Bush admin. to slow down stem cell research. Let a crony org. patent it and no one else can touch it without a long and iffy court fight. It has moral majority stink all over it.
