If we grant chimps "human rights" then does the chimp get the same due process as humans? How would you try the chimp with a jury of his peers?
What if the chimp wants to marry? What if some guy wants to marry the chimp? Yeah, yeah, these obviously aren't regarded as basic human rights at this time, but you can see what a slippery slope this can become.
I, for one, welcome our new bloodsucking overlords.
But, seriously folks, those new GM mosquitoes will probably just cross breed with Africanized honeybees and take over the planet.
I'm surprised that some enterprising country who doesn't give a frick about US laws and who wants western currency doesn't get into the "media business."
Imagine if North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, or Cuba got opened their own internet radio and their own versions of AllofMP3? I'd think that would be a decent stream of revenue that would be hard or impossible to shut off.

Maybe if the kid loses and has to pay up, then Britney can finally afford to buy some panties.
Then the fire truck just gets blocked, because someone has parked his car on that narrow street.
