Would it not be easier to create a gen-eng plant that doesn't need to be pollinated. I mean, come on people... Pollination is so 20th century

I have never seen a Scientology soup line. Nor have I seen a Scientology homeless shelter. When was the last time they sent a mission to feed the poor in Africa or South America. Exactly what do they do to help society... Scientologists that is, not soup lines.

If your smart, you fight the ATF with lawyers. It might take 9 years but they won. If you are dumb you shoot at ATF agents, barricade yourself in armed cult compound and have the nerve to be surprised when Janet Reno shows up and kicks your butt.

Ellis D. Tripp writes: "DC District Court judge Reggie Walton has finally ruled in the 9-year old court case pitting the model rocketry community against the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE). The ruling is a "slam dunk" for the rocketry community, stating that the BATFE ignored scientific evidence and overstepped their bounds by classifying ammonium perchlorate composite propellant (APCP) as an "explosive". Effective immediately, the BATFE has no legal jurisdiction over hobby rocket motors, and a federal Low Explosives User's Permit (LEUP) will no longer be needed in order to purchase APCP motors.

Whats next, Comcast will shape traffic going to the NAACP. Maybe they will priortize traffice going to 'creationism' websites. Could be somthing simple like gateway.com will get priority over dell.com. I understand that it is their network im using, but I should be informed (at least able to look it up myself) if my communications are being altered in any way.
