# TOBACCO PLANTS WITH HUMAN GENES ABOUT TO BE FIELD-TESTED. A tobacco plant
with human genes is about to be set out in Canada. Canadian scientists says
it's possibly the first field test ever of plants with human genes. It won't
be the last: http://cnn.com/HEALTH/9906/14/tobacco.human.genes/index.html
: Would you smoke a cigarette that you're personally related to? Would it be
cannibalism to consume plants with human genes? Do they taste like chicken?

# Dalai Lama optimistic about 2000. JERUSALEM (AP) In a city best known for
its religious strife, the Dalai Lama walked along the cobblestone alleys
carrying a message of peace. Donning a skullcap at the Western Wall, pos-
ing for photos with black-robed priests at Jesus' tomb and touring Islam's
3rd holiest site, he said conflict is unavoidable, but that with the right
attitude, problems are easier to overcome. The next millennium could hold
a better future for humanity and the people of Tibet, he told a news con-
ference. Human beings are learning from their mistakes, he said. "I think
that everywhere the desire for peace, nonviolence, coexistence, self-det-
ermination and the concern for ecology are becoming universal," he said.
See http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2559934915-62b
: Are you optimistic, pessimistic, narcissistic, narcoleptic, epileptic, or
opportunistic? Are Tibetans doomed? Is the Dalai Lama a CIA tool? Are you?

# Boys convicted in death of gay man. WEST PALM BEACH, Fl. (AP) Two teen-age
boys who admitted repeatedly beating and kicking a gay man after he called
one of them "beautiful" were convicted of murder. Bryan Donahue, 17, was
found guilty of 2nd-degree murder & robbery. Another jury convicted Billy
Dodge, 18, of 3rd-degree murder motivated by hate. They were convicted in
the slaying of Steven Goedereis, a waiter beaten beyond recognition in
1998 outside a convenience store. Donahue kicked him 20 times in the
head. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2559937761-286
: Would you kill someone who called you 'beautiful'? Does your belief system
specify that compliments be punished by death? Would you rather be insulted?

your aliments on your biochemistry, drugs, CIA mind-control rays, ETs, me?

"Amanda couldn't decide -- should she give up her study of menstrual
imagery in Hopi folklore (which no on else on that sedate Midwestern
campus had thought to look into) and settle down to a nice quiet life
with Philip on the farm, where together with the plowing and the plan-
ting the two of them could experience nature's timeless rhythms first-
hand, or should she go to law school?" --Robert Massa
