A Logical Look at Stem Cell Research
29-Apr-07 12:16 AM
Due to space limitations and trying not to appear as a plagiarist, I have removed the previously posted article that appeared and instead I am posting the link to the article written by noted scientist Richard Dawkins. This article discusses the philosophical and moral ethics of embryonic stem cell research. I believe that this is a very important topic of discussion that we face today and one that could provide untold medical and health benefits for mankind. It is deeply unfortunate that President Bush has chosen to veto critical legislation approved by both houses of Congress to fund embryonic stem cell research. This article eloquently provides a logical examination of the issues and ethics associated with this important research and presented as a counterpoint to the underlying hypocrisy of the current administration who oppose this research but yet happily condone wars. I hope you will take the time to go and fully read the entire article.

Good Things Come In Wacky Packages
10-Apr-07 10:29 PM
Does anybody remember Wacky Packages? I loved them as a kid and I remember when they first came out in the 1970's. At one point I had amassed a fairly large collection and I displayed them proudly in my room. But, time passed and I grew up and got a job, and had to worry about real life problems and soon forgot about the good ol' days of just being a kid. One of my biggest concerns as a kid was whether or not I would get that last card in series #2 to add to my collection of wacky packages. Usually you would end up with about 5 or 6 of the same cards and the fun was in trying to track down that last, elusive card. And it wasn't until years later with the advent of the internet that I was finally able to collect them all by searching and downloading and even buying a few of the hard ones off of eBay. But, by golly, I got them all now. Click the link below to see a PDF of series #2 - one of my favorites.
