The whole idea about using the mix of human nuclei in the stem cells of animals (birds), is actually a good idea. Before all the neo conservatives jump on my shit about this, let me explain why I think so.
First of all, human and animal DNA, cannot combine to form a fetus. DNA of an animal and of a human being have completely different sets and numbers of chromosomes, it is, in fact, physically impossible to combine the two. Don't worry, we will never have a manchicken, a man with wings, or a centaur.
This is, a very very, good idea. It takes out the need for harvesting stem cells from humans, including aborted embryos. This would, of course, shutup the Christian vs Science need for human embryos. Wouldn't that just be great?....sorry, I'm aware that was untasteful and disdainful.
This research will most certainly help for gene therapy for cancer, tumors, mulitple sclerosis, Parkinson's, Hotchkins, and even Alzheimers. Yeah, I'll say it, Centaur science is a damn good idea if they can make it work. That's how it Bottom lines up.

Medievangelism: Part 2
Before reading this, you may want to read my former on this subject...same title minus the "Part2"
Here I am at work. At my crazy, not so entertaining desk job in a dank old State Farm Insurance agency, in all places-Eustis,Fl-When I realized why so many of us waste so much of our lives in front of a computer. For me it's personal expression, not many people are going to want to listen to what I have to say if I'm actually "saying" it. My opinions are far more entertaining if they are broadcast through the mind's eye...
Yet another reason a large, and not so vague majority of people spend so much time in front of the screened tunnels to having a fat ass or something else fat...is that there isn't anything to do in small places like Eustis. We have 2 gyms, one is a YMCA. Everything is so small here....Small town mentality involves either, getting drunk, running around somewhere you shouldn't be, or staying home, enjoying whatever frivolities there are. There isn't anything to do within an hour territory. Who wants to drive that far for a decent time, when you can sit home, watch TV, gorge yourself on whatever's in the fridge and talk to your friends...What more could you need, entertainment, information, and communication. I'll find more reasons for why we're so bored in a little while...maybe another Medievangelsim, for now I'm back to work.

Medievangelism
Here we go again. Imagine this-a world where everyone is entertained by a flat screen that posts images acrossed it's screen for no other reason but frivolous fictional entertainment. A world where only the absolute most intellectual of people use it to get informed, and a percent of those don't really even care about the useful information that they are watching.
I find that fascinating, in fact riveting. How many of us waste hours upon hours of time sitting infront of the tube or computer watching silly shows, youtube,myspace, facebook, and dare I say, publishing a blog called "The Bottom Line" that probably reaches all of three people, that are probably just my friends that are wondering what I'm doing with my time.
The point is, why are we so driven to waste our time?! Why in the world are we wasting our lives doing things like this feeding production companies and writers, adding hits to someone's website, and staring at things that have no relevance to real life. How come, these days, people can express themselves to one another better in an IM, than in a face to face conversation. We even date and fall in love through the screen, what happened to good old face to face attraction. What was the last thing you laughed at that wasn't a reference to something else.
The worst part is that we're all guilty of it. Every last one of us. Especially me. I've had more in depth conversations through an IM than face to face and I spend over 4 hours a day on a computer, every day, not counting the days when I work, then it's just a disgusting amount.
These roots of evil are wasting our lives away, and surely we can find something better to do with our lives....right? Opinions totally needed. I mean, isn't this why we're so bored?

How about them Apples?
Welcome yourself to America-The fast food nation. Where everyone sits around on their asses not actually giving a damn about anyone or anything. The country where everyone is fat, happy, and over payed. The Mindless frivolity is enough to make one wish they lived in a less organized, more productive society. It could span from high schools telling students with a 3.0, they aren't good enough to get anywhere in life . To workers, making $8/hr not being able to make ends meet. Since WHEN did the head of America inflate so large they can't see past the end of their noses.
Capitalism is becoming a pedantic, repetitive, place, every company making their own goal more pertinent than the rest. It's not necessarily selfishness of individuals that's translating into big business is it? Could it be that we're just boring ourselves and numbing our society day in and day out that quite possibly makes everyone so overbearingly apathetic towards everything but power and money.
Politics does not differentiate in the least. Everyone is living and letting live, and all that really happens is the gain of the capital rule with every half-way decent left OR right wing political (state and national) institution. It's put every baby boomer governmental revolutionist the idea that no one really gives a damn. The "me" generation never really woke up-ever-thanks for 20 years of bullshit guys! gotta love the apathy.
What people are lacking is the knowledge that everyone seems to long-NOT-for. How frustrating. What then, do people do? Will we keep letting proper ideals slip through their proverbial fingers-It's no longer against the rules to know what's going to know what's going on. That's my job isn't it? to INFORM. Generally if you're reading this, information is what you're looking for.
The problem here is standing up and the power of continuation of truth. How exactly does anyone plan on changing the world. If they can' simply get their asses up from the latest MTV hit, and look for a bit of qualified political and useful euphemisms that may at least help one form an opinion-have an OPINION! Don't stand by and let yourself think that because it isn't DIRECTLY relative to you, doesn't disqualifying it from effecting your quality of life.
Eat from the tree of CNN and CSPAN- The Daily Show and The Colbert Report will even suffice for a small bit of personal opinion-the issue at hand in society isn't Republican VS Democrat. It's people believing instead of idealising! That is a flaw in America society. Everyone sittin on their asses getting fat instead of standing up and moving forward.. It's not what the opinion is as lonas it's educated, it's that you have one-that's the bottom line.
