    Best advice from the article: "In addition, we must not forget the embryos which were discarded because they did carry the gene."

    now the part that will unfortunately get me modded flamebait:
    The easiest way to make certain someone never gets a disease is to kill them before the get it. There are plenty of children needing adoption for this entire scenario to have been avoided

    Draek,
    In today's post-modern, we can redefine words to mean anything, personality over substance mentality people redefine words to mean whatever they want. That is why I dropped out of the conversation. I wish you the best fortune with it.

    Why is Sarah Palin using a private account when she is Governor?

    Because there are laws in place that say what you can and cannot do with government services and equipment. What you do not seem to get is she was abiding by these laws. Thats why she has 2 (or more) email accounts. The hacker ought to be prosecuted, he even said he did it with malicious intent

    I really wanted to get something incriminating which I was sure there would be

    but guess what? he found squat and diddly.

    I read though the emails... ALL OF THEM... before I posted, and what I concluded was anticlimactic, there was nothing there, nothing incriminating, nothing that would derail her campaign as I had hoped, all I saw was personal stuff, some clerical stuff from when she was governor.... And pictures of her family

    And i get annoyed when people spout off and don't know what they are talking about. My area of research is specifically the rise of fundamentalism in North America. Go read "The Fundamentals: A Testimony to the Truth", published by Baker Books, as an intro to fundamentalism, then go to Larry Pettegrew's work entitled "the Historical and Theological Contributions of the Niagara Bible Conference to American Fundamentalism." Lastly I invite you to read Wilson's own writings which are available online at Princeton.

    I had a much longer reply, however i shall simply point to the quotes below and state that your comment

    And I'm not quite sure about Wilson being a "recognized intellectual" -- he was known as a historian, but not a general thinker outside his field, the way, say, Richard Feynman knew more than physics.

    and

    Probably most of America hadn't even heard of Darwin until the Scopes trial put evolution in the newspapers.

    simply points to your lack of knowledge of early 20th century American history:

    1) Fundamentalism began as a rejection of modernism and specifically evolution at the end of the 19th century.

    2)

    A leading intellectual of the Progressive Era, he served as President of Princeton University and then became the Governor of New Jersey in 1910

    The GGP was in response to her being a creationist, thus my reply if you had concerns because she is a pentecostal then that is a different issue.

    Maria Comella, a spokeswoman for the McCain-Palin campaign, has said Palin attends different churches and does not consider herself Pentecostal.

    In that case, you should worry if she is a dispensationalist and not if she is creationist as only dispensationalists believe in a rapture. BTW Woodrow Wilson was a creationist, fundamentalist and dispensationalist.

    from Wikipedia:
    In order to create a unified brand, the company changed its corporate name from Jersey Standard to Exxon, rebranding all its U.S. stations under the latter title in the summer and fall of 1972 after successful test marketing of the Exxon brand and logo in late 1971 and early 1972 at rebranded Enco/Esso stations in certain U.S. cities. The company initially planned to change its name to Exon, staying with the four letter format of Esso and Enco, but at some point in the planning process, it was noticed that the governor of Nebraska was named James Exon. Renaming the company after a sitting governor seemed ill-advised and the second "x" was added to the new name and logo.

    Both you and the other responder are likely right, however I bet there is a 3rd reasoning set as to why China only gets listed 1 time : the olympics. As for the other responder yes, but it is not just the /. headline that is misleading, so is the PopSci headline. These days (well for years really) PopSci has been a fun read not a serious one.

    Don't worry, the article (PopSci) is self contradicting in the first place. On one page it says that 16 out of the 20 most polluted cities are in China, it then goes on to name 9 out of the top 10 which are somewhere other than China. Last time I checked 20 - 16 was 4 not 9. Of course maybe they are using the new math.
