If you won't google it, I'll do it when I get back later.

Google what? Oh, dear, I didn't intend for you to do research. Please don't do that. I hate it when posters make me work.

It seems to me that, if there were any efforts afoot to ban in vitro fertilization anywhere near the scope of those against abortion and stem cell research, you and I would know about it. Or at least someone reading this would know about it. We don't live in caves, after all. Since we don't know about it, it must not be happening. No need to research that.

BTW, heard on TV today that the verb, "to google," is now in the dictionary.

did you catch the Explorer program 'Drowning New Orleans'?

will air again Saturday, August 12, 7P

was a great watch - learned some thing I didn't even know - like the two canals, MR GO and the gulf intracoastal waterway pretty much laid a direct unobstructed path for the storm surge going directly into NO and causing the massive flooding of east NO

it also called the army corps of engineers levee design the most catastrophic engineering failure in history

for those not familiar with the levee systems in NO, it is a tight, clear concise big picture of what actually happened

the failure of the city was without a doubt man-made
