by Joe B. Did most of you have a safe, gut filling Thanksgiving? As many may know the Indians at Plymouth Rock got a rotten reward for helping the Pilgrims survive that harsh winter way back When. They [Pilgrims] thought of the Indians as wild, crude, uncivilized, and walking around half bare gave their women an eyeful of another type of male physique. It didn't matter, most of them if not all would have perished from starvation, few even saw the Indigenous people living in natural grace but only as heathens shut off from divine love of their Lord. Questions have been bubbling up ever since about historical fact, fiction, and lies through the ages. Were elderly Women, strikingly beautiful mature woman, young or middle aged in the same , plus having midwife skills other healing skills from herbs, medicinal tincture to heal wounds, brake fever's and restore health must have seemed "Devil's Work" indeed to a Patriarchal controlled society. What happened when a few over aged [25-40] year old spinsters who don't look their age, a normal or hyperactive sexdrive, and able to lure young or older men to them and even give birth? The older men and young or middle-age women jealous that and their own men's straying their way was test-to-embarrass and/or kill these odd women who seem to the defy time and nature. Imagine Lena Horn, and Elizabeth Taylor with their legendary beauty in those times. Both through no fault of their own could be tortured, called witches, and be put to death for the sin of "Being too sensual and alluring, otherworldly, sinful, not simply, mortal beauty. "They made a bargain with Satan." is their rant. Madonna [1980's Material Girl] had the same problem: the powers that be-first said she'd be a flash in the pan, would not be a success, or her talent and fame wouldn't last. Obviously Madonna herself and fans believed in her too - so much that the powers that be tried to overide entertainment and marketing forces when the young girl, woman, lady, broke through, and continued to change and evolved into the Megastar she is now. It shows that one person with a will, intelligence, and talent can always move elasticity no matter what others may think and say. I'm not even getting into Rap and Hip-Hop which again shows the power of the individual can still sway hearts and minds and change lives. Back to post Turkey Day. The family had a nice dinner, though eggnog is a nemesis I had some pie Ala mode, and cheese cake. Years ago my Mother's boyfriends bought already to eat turkey tails. They are already golden brown, buttery with fat dripping on to the bottom of an aluminum covered blue and white speckled turkey pot. It was the best Thanksgiving ever without the bird. I do understand nearly destroying a bird myself, but if one starts early like weeks in advance you can order a full turkey dinner with most or all of the trimmings 'n fixings from a supermarket. Take it from mama "Buy it, get it delivered, and eat." Seems simple to me, it cuts out the worry of cooking. I wonder it you could order a few bottles of Champagne, eggnog, cakes, pies, along with a New Year's Goose, chicken, or turkey again. It would eliminate some fatal drunk driving accidents, adultery, and a new marketing scheme-ugh, tool-umm, traditional-yeah that's it a new tradition can begin. From single cellular fusion of a skin cell and a human egg a potential embryo-to-humanlike being could form. I say humanlike because this early they are still cells yet to become human though formed an resembling one. What did Right-To-Life people think? That after September 11th. this research would be stop cold, no way while the war rages in Afghanistan science, research and development goes on. When soldiers, police, or anyone in other dangerous occupations are wounded severely, maybe a finger, leg, hand, spinalcord severing accident happens this fearful, revolutionary, potential life preserving-saving, cellular technology will seem not so Frankenstine-like. Banning a technology is as silly and serious as banning The Waltz, Classical Music, Ragtime, Jazz, The Big Bands Bluegrass and Country, Rhythm and Blues, Rock and Roll, Rap/Hip-Hop, or music from foreign lands. It can be slowed, delayed, but it cannot be stopped. Be it Human Cloning, Tissue regeneration-rejuvenation-age reversal It will happen-will it spread global-yes- is it an evil technology? Technology by itself is not evil, we humans have to take the fall for the choices we make with them. You see the same fear of the new and unknown? Remember these are the descendants of Wicken [wise women killers, burners of printing press's, people with new ideas, erodes human rights, and biblically-death-bound-life-fearing dangerous, mind-poisoning Moral Majority/Rigid Religious Right Fundamentalists. Think of The Honorable, Billy Graham Jr. and what he said about the whole Islamic Religion and then apologized for spewing his poison. But he got his words out didn't he? Sounds like an X-Files show "Apology As Policy" Both Rev's. P. Robertson and J. Falwell spoke their true belief's then take their words back after the sludge has been jettisoned by radio and televised around the globe now its B. Graham Jr.'s turn and he does the same. These are the death-prone who've always hated, despised, science unless it benefited them. With Cell Tissue Technologies we all may really have the chance to learn, do, be, and instruct others how to live richer, longer lives. The Devil is not in technology but in our dual personalities. A new frontier opens up for all of us and the bleak dead-futured cannot see it which is sad and understandable but when they chose to encase us all in their dim, flickering shadow light... We cannot because the two other kinds of people are the ones with blinders off that can feel, see, touch the future and the ones on the fence waying which way to go - stay with what's known or jump forward into the unknown. I do not belong to group 1 or 2 stumbling blindly between both is my group-3 and I'm leaning toward cell research even if experts say it premature. I know, Joe is certfiable. That could be true, but are you going to take chances with the Darkside of The God Squad to safeguard or delay, or keep Cell Tissue Technologies for themselves or destroy it? Think about it...
