Can't I Buy A Pair of Socks?


Sittin' in the office today and noticed a big hole in the heel of my socks. Went to my local haberdashery, OK, Kohls, to buy a replacement pair. Found out it is not possible to buy a pair of socks. You must buy 3 of them, because that is the only way they are packaged. All brands. Three at a time. Either the same color or a mixture of colors.

Instead, I think I'll get out the needle and thread.

Every Cell is Sacred


I cannot believe the James Dobson of Focus on the Family has equated stem-cell research with the Nazi experimentation on humans. To compare research on a single cell for the benefit of mankind to the wanton pain and torture inflicted on living human beings is beyond my comprehension.

And there are millions of people who follow this wacko. It brought to my mind the song from Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life", with a word substitution: Every cell is sacred, every cell is great. If a cell is wasted, God gets quite irate.
