  2. Welcome to our Web Development forum, opened at 327pm today (June 18 2006).

    Discuss Web Design, programming languages, Search Engine optimization in here.

     

     

    EDIT: June 28 2006 355pm, Web Design forum name changed to Web Dev.

  3. GOVERNMENT ORDERS SPY BLIMP

    http://www.freemarketnews.com/WorldNews.asp?nid=15095

     

    Friday, June 16, 2006 - FreeMarketNews.com

     

    The government has hired defense subcontractor Lockheed Martin to design and develop an enormous blimp that will be used to spy on Americans, according to the Athens News. Government agencies such as the NSA are anticipating that as early as 2009 the blimp will be operational and begin supporting new ways of monitoring everything that happens in the country.

     

    A prototype of the blimp is already being developed at a cost of $40 million. The spy ship, called the High Altitude Airship, will be seventeen times larger than the Goodyear Blimp and hover 12 miles above the ground. Although it is very large it will be invisible to both the naked eye and ground radar because of its distance from the earth. Fuel economic and self sufficient, it will be powered by solar energy and will be able to fly for years at a time.

     

    The U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command has already conducted a study to determine some of the uses of the spy ship. It has the capability of monitoring an area 600 miles in diameter at a time with surveillance equipment, such as high-resolution cameras. The government has ordered 11 of them – enough to monitor every parcel of land in the U.S.

    History Question

    The Dude:

    http://www.easternuswx.com/bb/index.php?s=...dpost&p=1220707

     

    Your perceptions are pretty much true as they relate to my posting in this forum. I personally would prefer to have discussions where people from both sides are bringing interesting ideas to the table and forcefully challenging my positions with well-thought out critiques. I have a very open mind and readily modify my positions when presented with convincing arguments.

     

    These discussions, however, are far too rare in this forum. The only one I can think of over the past few weeks has been the flag burning amendment thread, which was quite civil and interesting. Everything else always turns into a right v. left talking points contest with the same posters posting the same predicatable tripe without giving it any degree of independent thought. Once it becomes clear that the debate is not going to be an interesting exchange of ideas, I suppose I do shift into win the debate mode. Most of the time, when I do this, I do this with the goal of sharing my opinions and thought process in the hopes of imparting others with some thoughts that may allow them to build on their own positions.

     

    Anyhow, that's my 2 cents.

  10. THE GENETIC BILL OF RIGHTS

     

    by The Board of Directors of the Council for Responsible Genetics

     

     

     

    PREAMBLE

     

    Our life and health depend on an intricate web of relationships within the biological and social worlds. Protection of these relationships must inform all public policy.

     

    Commercial, governmental, scientific and medical institutions promote manipulation of genes despite profound ignorance of how such changes may affect the web of life. Once they enter the environment, organisms with modified genes cannot be recalled and pose novel risks to humanity and the entire biosphere.

     

    Manipulation of human genes creates new threats to the health of individuals and their offspring, and endangers human rights, privacy and dignity.

     

    Genes, other constituents of life, and genetically modified organisms themselves are rapidly being patented and turned into objects of commerce. This commercialization of life is veiled behind promises to cure disease and feed the hungry.

     

    People everywhere have the right to participate in evaluating the social and biological implications of the genetic revolution and in democratically guiding its applications.

     

    To protect our human rights and integrity and the biological integrity of the earth, we, therefore, propose this Genetic Bill of Rights.

     

    THE GENETIC BILL OF RIGHTS

     

    1. All people have the right to preservation of the earth’s biological and genetic diversity.

     

    2. All people have the right to a world in which living organisms cannot be patented, including human beings, animals, plants, microorganisms and all their parts.

     

    3. All people have the right to a food supply that has not been genetically engineered.

     

    4. All indigenous peoples have the right to manage their own biological resources, to preserve their traditional knowledge, and to protect these from expropriation and biopiracy by scientific, corporate or government interests.

     

    5. All people have the right to protection from toxins, other contaminants, or actions that can harm their genetic makeup and that of their offspring.

     

    6. All people have the right to protection against eugenic measures such as forced sterilization or mandatory screening aimed at aborting or manipulating selected embryos or fetuses.

     

    7. All people have the right to genetic privacy including the right to prevent the taking or storing of bodily samples for genetic information without their voluntary informed consent.

     

    8. All people have the right to be free from genetic discrimination.

     

    9. All people have the right to DNA tests to defend themselves in criminal proceedings.

     

    10. All people have the right to have been conceived, gestated, and born without genetic manipulation.
