Columbo. I think you're on to something. Evil Gates wants to become God to the next evolutionary advance in humankind. interactive.wsj.com clip: Here our narrative takes a chilling turn. For Mr. Gates is not satisfied with garden-variety omnipotence; he actually wants to be God. And it is humanity's rotten luck, to hear British futurist Ray Hammond tell it, that Mr. Gates's rise comes at a portentous time. To wit: "Mankind is at the beginning of the process of creating our evolutionary successor species." Mr. Hammond's unpublished book "Why Bill Gates Must Be Stopped"--a chapter of which Mr. Nader included in the conference literature--explains that Mr. Gates "is now using some of his cash to make personal investments in biotechnology and has brought his personal knowledge of computing (and some of Microsoft's assets), to bear on the human genome project, the mapping of the human DNA, which is often described as the 'operating system for humans.' " Can it be long before Microsoft has windows on our very souls? JD
