Friendly Bombs

(5)

Happy birthday ann!

The Today Show had an interesting piece on DNA today. Spencer Wells (The Genographic Project) explained how DNA could be used to trace ancient migration patterns. Kattie, Matt, Ann and Al all contributed their DNA to the cause and were 'typed' accordingly. I found this piece very interesting in the midst of a desert of cultural trivia. As I watched the piece it hit me that this blew the hell out of the 'Tower of Babel' theory in the very Old and odius Testament.

Then there's the story of 'friendly bombs.' Seems veterans can not receive Purple Hearts if they have been injured by 'friendly' fire or 'friendly' bombs. This is a policy in search of instant reversal.

Nicholas Negroponte has been named 'Person of the Week' for his invention of the $100 laptop which is to be given to third world children. I loved it! I thought of it as the beginning, for those children, of 'freedom from god' (being gassed here: 0850 b 1 1 (l) burning). God is Enemy.

Lastly there was a story that the CIA is using rap 'music' as torture: they play M&M to the unfortunate detainees in order to soften them up. I always suspected that rap would have that effect. Keep up the good work, boys!
