    I tell you theres millions of old people hiding in those crappy houses and old people homes, they are secretly voting for Bush, not that those old people live in reality, ie A free home, free food, free meds, free entertainment, never leave the compound, always around people 75plus, no wonder they are voting NUTSO, especially if they are gettting a bit nutso around 80plus. Maybe they miss 1954.

    if everything evolutionized from the ONE thing or common parent, then it should all be traceable, sure its a massive amount of data, but its not random or hard to record like a super nova and tracing each atoms movement.

    Hypothetically, you could 'track' down every single organisms history/growth over 1M years. Its just data, animals only multiply at max/min speeds, so its like simulating a trillion balls bouncing, its possible.

    So without a time machine, can it be done via DNA analysis? If not all genes are used and a lot are infact idle, then why do some organisms need more genes? when they could use the spares? or is it just pot luck?

    Does in fact /dev/rand really play a part and the only part? Is it all really just based on qantum stuff?

    Your a nut arent you...

    back to the point;

    proove genetic evolution

    how many generations are required? 1000? 500000? well we can measure that through fossils, if it took 200M years for X to appear then its the last known old version to when the new version appear divide by lifecycle.

    So lets copy that? get some worms or ants and add some gamma rays or something, see if after 10 years or 50000 generations we can get someone NEW genetically, not just a new version based on what genetics were there any way.

    When the amount of chromosones actually change from say 54 to 52 and it starts a new species, show me that. Or find a loophole/backdoor to trigger a successfull MUTATION/EVOLUTION.

    Judging fossils shows you most new species virtually appeared instantly, there was no general progression, its like BOOM magic over 10-50M years there are 10000s of new animals.

    Does an animals environment during its young years determin how it changes? or during gestation?

    Was it really only the earths magnetic field changing and causing 10x more cosmic rays to hit earth that really spawned bizare creatures, ie u nlocked new 'options' that already existed in the DNA? or did it actually MAKE new DNA? or is it the RNA which really decides which parts of the DNA to change or use?

    So how easy is it for me to petition to legalize cannabis in NY? I would only succeed in 2020AD once all the old farts die off and enough progressive thinkers that KNOW that attaching a criminal label on smokers is the wrong way to go about things...

    Sometimes the MOB RULES mentalitiy ( ie voting ) can be the wrong way to go, because if 56% of the people (uninformed trolls) vote for criminalizing pot, does it mean they are really correct and right to punish the other 44%???

    They should do TWO referendum, you only achieve success if you get a 75%+ vote;
    ask for Pro Criminalization or
    Pro Decriminaliztion

    If both fail to get 75%+ then its obvious that democracy on a large scale is a failure, you have to have smaller regions of local laws. The concept of a common vote for rules for a large population that is massively diverse is SOO WRONG, it should be very localized with extremely few country wide laws or even state wide laws.
    So either have smaller states, or have more counties/areas defining their own laws, so if you dont like one place, move to a place you like, that would be real freedom. No country wide DMCA.

    Looking at http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid= 75829

    A normal $16 CD, really costs 25% of that, $4, once you remove physical markups/distribution/packaging/store markups.

    So the albums should be MAX $5 for online shops, older stuff from the 50s/60s/70s, should be lower.... perhaps $2 or $3 per album at most, since theyve already made back their costs 100x fold.

    So why cant they place new single CDs online for $1 (for all 3-6 tracks, not just one)

    And reduce the price as it gets older, this scheme/scam/con job of charging the same price for a new U2 single vs an old 60s Beattles song just plain SUX.

    Quite possibly this could be causing warming too.

    Also recent measurements of the amount of light reflecfed from the DAY SIDE of earth onto the dark side of the moon shows that is has increased, so thats another wierd effect. Again, caused by more crap in the air? or more light from the sun? or both? hmmm
