The last time a bunch of scientist got together and made a forever changing discovery was when we made the Atomic bomb. How many of you think the world is a safer place since nuclear weapons came in to play? There are limits as to how far things should be allowed to go. I'm not saying that we should not look in to finding cures for dieseases like Parkinsons's, Cancer, Alzheimers, etc etc etc. I'm all for it. All I'm saying is that there needs to be a limit set, a threshold that must not be crossed when it comes to science and technology.
Just my political 2 cents for the month.

Wow the first part of your post I thought you were decribing how bitter Bush's classmates must have felt to see him succeed after slacking-off while they busted their asses...
As for technology, I'm all for continued funding and advancement. While you decry the evil that the Atomic bomb brought, you leave out all of the positive spin-offs of the Atomic bomb... advances in power, medicine, computers, and telecommunitations. Take for example the method of commincation that you use daily... the internet decended from a military defense communication network designed to co-ordinate nuclear defense. I will never oppose the advance of science, because you can never predict the results of any advance, and the benifits it might bring.
