China is now doing more human genome mapping than we are http://www.newsweek.com/2011/04/24/high-quality-dna.html.
This should give us pause for thought. Do we want China to have the right to "own" genome intellectual property? China will be able to make much more advances in medicine due to their lower ethical standards. Do you think for a moment that they will hesitate to do experiments considered abhorrent here on their prisoners or their people? They will undoubtedly discover some very useful things from this research and then will be very happy to sell to us. Will China-Med be the next pharmaceutical giant? Is the world really flat?

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
I would like to hear more about Cantor shorting the dollar so he can make the big bucks when we default. Is this true? Shouldn't that be big news and a look inside about who the Republicans really work for?
