Not long ago at the Redondo Beach Whole Foods, I saw a ragged man carry a 12 pack of beer out of the store, get on a bicycle, and ride away. As he did so two Whole Foods employees were following him and yelling for him to come back. I soon asked why they did not physically stop him, and was told that employees were only allowed to call the police. One said that if an employee had even touched the shoplifter they could be fired. (Note - this retail complex did not seem to have any private security guards.)

Yes, I thought of K-LOC's as I read this.

I recently learned that a number of "fringe" Christians believe that any research using DNA is part of a scheme to eventually turn humans into monsters. Specifically the author Stephen Quayle has written a number of books on what I would call "crackpot Christian" topics.

Note - I am aware that only a small percentage of modern Christians believe such things.

Just like with Apple, no one has to buy a HP printer.
