Diversity is My Middle Name and Speaking of Cybrids
I love diversity. I love culture. I love ecumenism.
I am a neutral person. I am a person that is neither
black nor white. I see all the colors of the spectrum.
I can accept what others might balk at. I can.

I was doing some research on stem-cell transplants and
came upon this article:

I am still a little ‘weirded out’ by radio communication. I hear
it happening but, my brain will NOT grasp the reality of these
tiny little particles and fiber-optics and air waves. I have an
even harder time understanding how that jet is suspended up
there in the air. I can truly understand everything that goes
into air travel, but I still can’t fathom the reality of flying
around the world at 500 mph. I can’t.

Now, the Dominican of Singapore WordPress site is trying to
explain to me that we are using animal embryos to clone
human beings for medical purposes. The embryo is destroyed
after the stem cells are removed. The thought of taking it
one step further confounds me. A baby being born that barks
and wags a tail. A monkey that can break dance. An elephant,
they are smart, that can apply for a commercial
transportation license. A bird that can type and transcribe
medical records. This is too much for me.

Years ago, my grandfather sat down with me for a question
and answer session. He never whined or balked or
complained, but there were A LOT of questions. My
favorite answer to “What do you think of technological
advances?” was “When I was 20 years old (that was
70 years ago), I never would have dreamed of the
things that I see now.” And, we talked for a long time.

Grandpa and I had our talk years ago. Today, I am
thinking the same thing. If someone could have predicted
this outcome, I never would have believed him/her.

Today, I am a bit ‘weirded out’ by this new discovery.
Gotta’ go. My dog is buttering the toast and dropped the
canister of sugar and cinnamon on the floor. See ya!
