Another Question:
It says here: "And when it comes to altering our DNA to improve our intelligence or resistance to disease Americans are firmly opposed."
Translation: "We insist on our right to being born stupid, and losing ground ever since."
And will someone please tell me why these robots must look like people, rather than like a vacuum cleaner or an R2D2 ? And speaking of R2D2, has anyone seen him lately?
Uncle Ron points out that we can have our very own R2D2 for a mere $200.00 + taxes and shipping & handling. But he's only 15 inches tall (R2D2, not Uncle Ron!) and that's $160/ft., batteries not included, which seems a bit much for a 'bot that can't reach the door knobs or answer the phone. But I'll bet it could drive the cat crazy!

ReplyDeleteI guess that's one translation. Somehow I view this as; let's not screw around with mother nature. you never know what you'll end up as..
@ Tommy -
ReplyDeleteI was trying to be a smart-ass, and I pained myself into an embarrassing corner - sorry about that....
But in answer to your question "you never know what you'll end up as..." the answer is: Extinct!
We're already so intelligent, we're breeding ourselves right out of a planet to live on, so maybe a little genetic engineering might not be a totally bad idea, assuming it was ethically regulated - and I don't mean by the NRA or the KKK or AVN or CIA.
$200.00 bucks and he's yours...check on line...
