DNA in a card, Part II discussion

DNA in a card, Part II, discussion


Some scientists and some politicians think that if we as a nation decided to record our DNA in a card , it would help us limit access to our country to terrorists because no one has the exact same DNA structure; making it avery exact form of identification.


Congress is said to be "riding the fence" on this subject according to Google.


At question is: does this violate our Right( no.4) in the Constitution to a reasonable search and our protection against unlawful invasion of privacy and undue force?


It's an interesting question- what do you think?

Do you think, as some JLanders do, that our government should also list our diseases , such as Aids or other contagious diseases so that other people can find out about them?

DNA in a card


Charley Dittric of the journal (http;//journals.aol.com/cditric77/courage/) in JLand told me that scientists are working hard on this card.


He said that is would come in handy to document who is American and who is not.


What do you think?

Precious Cargo in my Dreams


Precious Cargo In My Dreams


I'd carry you


through ice and snow


your kit snug


across my back;


your rope pulled


across my shoulder pack


And should rivers meet


And tips of a dike unfold-


I's pull you across


the rivers' road;


My glacial hands and feet holding


the rivers' crossing


where they meet


I'd carry you;


My sweet cargo


"till I knew, Captain,


you were safe


'tho snares of wolves


And sorry baits


Begged


At my back;


I'd push on.


I'd carry you Still;


Dreaming Strong


Of Love on hold


Frozen


To my gait


Of Dreams


And Child ther


At my Wait:


my Libido


frozen solid


To my back;


As through frozen wood


I'd hack


And push my weight


And saw and haw


"till you were safe.
