|Er... I might me just totally short-sighted here (like when I blew
|it with the "wheel" discussion), but: are we talking about
|gene-engineering people to be healthy and happy in a poisoned
|envireonment? 'Cos if we *are*, I seriously need to pack my
|genetically inferior body into my trusty old van and make a run down
|to my favorite spot on the Crooked River to watch the otters play.
