Mutant Watch Spreading Across U.S.A. *********************************** PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN America is built on the strength of its families. The question is, what are families built on? The answer is people. Ordinary people. Lawyers and doctors, steel workers and schoolteachers. People like you. People like me. As I speak, there is a new and ominous danger facing our families. It is a danger facing every man, woman and child. And only a handful of Americans even know it's out there. It hides behind the face of your co-worker, your bowling buddy, even your trusted family physician. It's sitting on your PTA board. It's waiting in the hallways of your neighborhood parish. It may even be watching your children as they sleep. What menace am I speaking of? The greatest scourge of the twenty-first century. My friends, I'm talking about MUTANTS. http://www.mutantwatch.com/ &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Mutation Probability: EXTREMELY HIGH There is an extremely high probability that you are a mutant. Report any other known mutants now. The Genetically Pure Patriot Brigade will be in contact soon. http://www.mutantwatch.com/quiz.html &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Equality for All Throughout history, human beings have reached for the stars -- and wallowed in the mud. They've accomplished great things, and killed each other in the millions. One thing is for certain: we are capable of anything. In recent years, scientists and geneticists have become aware of a class of humans called "mutants", people who have evolved beyond the scope of ordinary human capacity and developed extraordinary powers. This has made some people fearful, something which Senator Kelly has exploited for his own personal gain. A master demagogue, Senator Kelly has worked to turn the populace against the mutants with fear tactics, misinformation, and all manner of scurrilous accusations. Now the Senator is proposing a Mutant Registry to keep track of mutants. All freedom-loving peoples should see this as the first step to tyranny, an encroachment on the liberties of a few that will inevitably blossom into shackles for all of us. That is why we must take a stand. The mutants need our help and understanding. We must come to their defense. If we desert them, we will be throwing away our own freedoms in advance. <http://countingdown.com/x-men/> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Are Mutations Harmful? ********************** by Richard Harter Q: Are there favorable mutations? A: There are, but it can be hard to tell. For a number of reasons it is not simple to give examples of favorable mutations. First of all, as we have seen, traits may be favorable or unfavorable, depending upon the environment. Secondly it is not usually known to what extent a trait is genetically fixed and to what extent it reflects a reaction to the environment. Thirdly we don't usually know what genes effect which traits. Moreover a mutation may be favorable in the sense that it permits survival in an unfavorable environment and yet be unfavorable in a better environment. However there are a number of good examples: Bacteria that eat Nylon: Well, no, they don't actually eat nylon; they eat short molecules (nylon oligomers) found in the waste waters of plants that produce nylon. They metabolize short nylon oligomers, breaking the nylon linkages with a couple of related enzymes. Since the bonds involved aren't found in natural products, the enzymes must have arisen since the time nylon was invented (around the 1940s). It would appear this happened by new mutations in that time period. Lactose tolerance: Lactose intolerance in adult mammals has a clear evolutionary explanation; the onset of lactose intolerance makes it easy to wean the young. Human beings, however, have taken up the habit of eating milk products. This is not universal; it is something that originated in cultures that kept cattle and goats. In these cultures lactose tolerance had a strong selective value. In the modern world there is a strong correlation between lactose tolerance and having ancestors who lived in cultures that exploited milk as a food. It should be understood that it was a matter of chance that the lactose tolerance mutation appeared in a group where it was advantageous. It might have been established first by genetic drift within a group which then discovered that they could use milk.

These psychic spies, or "remote viewers," were able to infiltrate any target, elude any form of security, and never risk scratch. For twenty years, the government selected civilian and military personnel for psychic ability, trained them, and put them to work, full-time, at taxpayers' expense, against real intelligence targets. The results were so astonishing that the program soon involved more than a dozen separate agencies, including the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Security Council, the FBI, the National Security Agency, the Secret Service, the Navy, the Army, the Air Force, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the US Customs Service, the US Special Forces Command, and at least one Pentagon drug-interaction task force. Most of this material is still officially classified. After three years of research, with access to numerous ! ! ! sources in the intelligence community--including the remote viewers themselves--science writer Jim Schnabel reveals for the first time the secret details of the strangest chapter in the history of espionage.
