“Our God given unalienable rights are given to us all as individuals. They tell us what me may do for ourselves, and they are the embodiment of liberty.
The so-called rights that government gives to some of us are parcelled out to select groups as classes. They tell us what one class of people may require another to do for them, and they are the very essence of slavery.”— Perri Nelson, February 9, 2010

Obama on the wrong side of history
Published Thu, Jan 29 2009 5:37 PM
In his inaugural address, President Obama had this to say…
“To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history;”
I have to wonder… was he listening to himself? Or was it “Just words. Just speeches.”? How about this statement, from the New York Post (emphasis added).
President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.
"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.
Of course, not everything that President Obama wants to get done is worth doing. But I guess if you say that, President Obama will try to silence your dissent.

RePet?
Published Thu, Jan 29 2009 9:22 AM
In the movie The 6th Day, Arnold Schwarzenegger's character considers buying a clone to replace his daughters dog. The company he approached for making the purchase was RePet.
Well, they say life mimics art. Now we know that it mimics science fiction…
“It truthfully is amazing to me that this process has come to be and that I am getting, if not my dog, certainly the essence of Lancelot and it looks so much like him that, well... He's a clone, so he should look like him,” said Otto. “Lancy was the first dog, commercially that they did clone because his DNA was frozen and very viable.”
Of course the movie was about human clones. Schwarzenegger's character was cloned, and the clone was attacked repeatedly by assassins that were also clones, and clones of clones — all to protect the business interests of a man that was himself a clone.
The adorable Lancy is cute as a button, but a clone is a walking controversy.
“People think that cloning dogs is a stepping stone to cloning people. Dogs are actually harder to clone than people,” said Hawthorne.
I only want to be here once. I've got other places to go when I shuffle off this mortal coil. Hopefully better ones.
