Hey Tink

Is it any wonder Mariska Hargitay is so hot? Go imdb.com and search for pictures of Jayne Mansfield. If you look at all the photos, you'll see shots of her with Mickey Hargitay.

Talk about good genes. Mercy.

Ah, the potential abuse thing didn't occur to me. My ex Aja decided not to major in biology because she was so uncomfortable with the idea of GMOs so I always thought of them as this scary unhealthy thing until I was reading a book about genes, and it seemed like (in my very elementary understanding of the science) gentetically modifying plants wasn't all that different from what medicines do to us. (Does that make any sense?) So I was curious as to your views. :) Thanks.

In some really inocuous ways, it's just the same. Or in the sense of, you find a mutation or genetic variation in one strain of wheat that gives it an advantage so you put it into another strain. To me, that's really not very different from classical breeding ans genetics.

The Monsanto thing, that's true. And it's the kind of thing that makes me foam at the mouth.
