President Bush takes his "culture of life" (Iraqis, Darfurians, U.S. soldiers and the thousands suffering from diseases stem cell research can cure need not apply) very seriously and isn't going to be told otherwise by a bunch of eggheads with "advanced degrees" and "knowledge of the subject."

Everyone (most without their knowledge) is eating it in the United States, but the Europeans have enacted restrictions on "cloned" products of this nature until more is known on its affects on people. This hasn't stopped Americans from sending rice to Europe certified as "non-genetically modified" but in reality, containing these banned commodities. Because of this hanky panky, European nations have now decided to test all rice imports to find out if they're the victims of bait-and-switch.

Well, stay tuned for Spore, a new game on the horizon which is one part Mr. Potatohead, one part Warcraft, one part Sims, one part SimCity, one part Starcraft and everything in between. The computer and gaming community is buzzing about this innovative game which allows people to create their own life forms and have them evolve. All that seems to be missing from the game at this point is requiring the creatures you create to perform sacrifices. Check out the video and be amazed at how you can take a microscopic creature and evolve him into a space alien with 8 legs and a butt for a face, and eventually build spaceships and abduct aliens.

While the big corporations argue that modifying corn and other crops to be more resistant to disease and larger and faster-growing, has no negative side-effects, it appears this isn't so, and now GM crops are cross-pollinating with other plants, producing herbicide-resistant "super weeds."
