Hanging in here. Going nowhere. Don't worry about me.     Here goes.     Like I know what is going on? (Right!!)     Life is sacred George, that is right.     I agree with George.. Embryo's should not and need not be destroyed. 'Liberal' people might want to begin to readjust there thinking on this subject. I don't think we are very awake. Why be tools for corporate dehumanization? Can't we see that we end up destroying everything on Earth in our attempts at some vague notion of progress. Check out how they want to get you on the 'Compassion' concept. Haven't you noticed the corporate connections. Of course we are all compassionate people no wants another person to suffer, it's just this legacy, this precedent we. might be establishing. We graying (yes I am 55 and still very young and punk like) and yes 22 year old women look just fine to me. We middle-aged and older people, faced with myriad disease options, might just say 'I'll grow old with my diseases and take them with me to my grave' rather than begin some corporate or bureaucratic entity being in charge of stored human embryos ready to serve future generations.     I disagree that the dreams of healing future generations have a higher priority than respecting Life in the present. Nature's bounty is huge. We live in an incredibly toxic civilization that barely has a clue as to what's real and what's not.       Abortion: Not an option.     What if it wasn't .. but not based on your fear of the law but of your love of Life.         Prisons in California.     Dangerous fraud perpetrated by the 'Correction' lobby. 53,000 new beds needed? 7 Billion Dollars for this outrage? What is it 40% of all inmates are doing time for non-violent crimes? Parole sweeps regularly,  twice weekly in Oakland ..crack downs on parolees sent back to prison (san Quentin) for indefinite sentences for crimes such as being out past curfew.  One gentleman who was released after (longer than a month) for 'absconding' as he was told. 'Just living at home with my wife and kid 'forgot' to contact a parole officer. Back in prison. Not just any prison San Quentin. The dungeon that sits in the richest county in California (? maybe the richest.. just about). 'You don't want to know how filthy that place is.' Novovirus the potentially fatal disease that sent guards and inmates the local hospital this past winter is caused by contact to Rat droppings. Get the men who do not belong in Prisons out of prisons. Half way houses would be great. Sentence people to an honest job.        'Bong Hits for Jesus'    Supreme Court well just when you want to jump on them for being completely disrespectful to the freedom of speech of America's finest..  our teenagers. ( You gotta believe!) Life is complicated and any matter that comes up before the Supreme Court are supremely difficult.    OK the kid unfurled a fourteen foot banner at a school function, a function organized outside of school but as a school event. The motive... to be cool... to be funny to do a lot of stuff that a very bold-spirited teenager might choose to do. To provoke a reaction from those in authority. So he did provoke a reaction and got suspended for 30 days by the school superintendent. Seems to me to be legitimate that he got suspended, pretty trivial overall but hey if you are part of the school function you behave or meet some consequences.. However for the supreme court to say that no teenager has the right to publicly comment on our drug laws in away that might be construed as advocating drug use.    A Natural High is a pretty bold move.       Guy W.
