Doing Whatever They Want To
Here is yet another in what seems to be an endless stream of ways that the current government is violating our most basic rights.
Basically, the FBI is recording whatever internet traffic they want to and then seeing if any of it contains anything about what they are looking for. What are they looking for, you ask? That's a good question. Basically anything that constitutes 'breaking the law', which can really be anything these days.

Suicide, Just Do It
Everyone has there own opinion on life and death. I personally believe that medically assisted suicide should be 100% legal. And I think it is especially, in the case of old folks, criminal that we make them suffer thru disease and depression until they die like some old family pet that good ol' Mom and Dad won't euthanize because they don't have the balls to show little Billy and Jenny the cold hard reality of the world.
Interesting article about a bridge in Seattle that people commit suicide from:

The current administration plans on using money from non-war related funds to put more troops in Iraq, because the Senate won't give them money to do so. Then the Senate will be forced to allocate money to support our troops, or look like heartless bastards by leaving them over there high and dry.

Chicken or the Egg
I came across an interesting article today that got me thinking. Basically, it explains how scientists are using viruses to infect chicken embryos and modify their DNA so that they produce certain drugs in their egg whites. Pretty crazy stuff. I'm thinking in twenty years I'll be fighting throat cancer by making sure I eat my eggs every morning.
There was another article about researchers in England who are trying to create this chewing gum that releases chemicals that make your brain think you are full. They are thinking it will have an impact on the obesity epidemic currently plaguing our culture. Hell... I'd pick up a pack :)
Anyway... here's the chicken article...

Dreamer
I remember the dreams I had when I was a child. My mind would create alternate worlds, ...worlds where I was someone else... born to another family, with different friends, living a different life. It seemed like there were infinite possibilities and a chance to change the world in a way that only I could. I had these dreams while I walked, and while I sat alone, and while I gazed out the bedroom window at night as the smell of the summer air blew threw the window screen and made me think there was a horrifically beautiful world just outside my room that I was being deprived of.
I always knew I was different...
I always knew I would change the world...
I always knew I would live out my dreams...
I never knew I'd be just like everyone else...
