Bumper sticker of the week: I'm as confused as a baby in a topless bar.
Biotechnology. We are forever searching for the cure. Yet we do so very little to eliminate the degradation of the Earth, perhaps the largest threat to our health. In fact, the five largest producers of human disability are malnutrition, poor water and sanitation systems, unsafe sex, tobacco, and alcohol. One has to wonder where our heads are? As it works out, that's our sixth worst disability.
Bush's energy plan is nothing more than a guarantee to his petroleum buddies that America will look to the past, not the future, in attempting to solve our energy needs. More nuclear power, more oil, focusing on oil exploration in ecologically sensitive areas rather than emphasizing energy efficiency and the development of more sustainable sources. Bush and Vice-President Cheney, former oilmen, must go -- beyond petroleum.

Senator Trent Lott, ex-majority leader (That has a nice ring to it), called Senator Jeffords' defection a ''coup.'' I would call it smart, but a ''coup'' is a little much. If it were a coup, Lott would likely be dead. Maybe he meant it was a boo-hoo coup. He hasn't stopped crying yet.
