Genetic Secrets of Man's Best Friend Revealed. Apparently, we have more in common, genetically speaking with dogs than with mice.

Brought to you via [livejournal.com profile] imlac, a very interesting euthanasia case. It's a new, more conflicting "right to die" case. It's not only intriguing from the moral conflicts involved, but my goodness, this poor girl was completely and utterly screwed all her life.

Consider:
-Haleigh Poutre's stepfather beat her to a persistent vegetative state.
=Haleigh's body was covered with burns, cuts, and bruises when she was hospitalized after being beaten with a bat.
-Haleigh's mother was separated from her when she was 4 due to allegations of abuse.
=Haleigh's guardian and maternal aunt, and Strickland's(the abusive monster) wife, was shot in a murder/suicide along with Haleigh's grandmother after she (the aunt) was accused of abusing Haleigh.

For Haleigh's sake, I hope there is such a thing as reincarnation, because this little girl got sooo ripped off. And now her stepfather is trying to ensure she remains on life support so he avoids being tried for murder.

So, will the right-to-life(less) group is confronted with a conflict: allow a child to die, or let a despicable abuser get off on lesser chargers.

I'm so over receiving old emails. I wish LJ would automatically delete them instead if they are over 5 days old.

I am home at last. I put in some overtime tonight to accomplish a move of some people. I also messed around with our paging system, which is such a MacGyver on Crack(CrackGyver, if you will) job, it floors me every time I gaze upon it. I tried to diagram the system of wiring we have for it; it defies the capability of handwriting. It requires the snap-lines that visio can provide. ATT Universal Couplers can kiss my grits, too.

Nicholas Gunn kept me entertained while I worked.

On the way home, I noticed we have a Full Gospel Church in Elk Grove. Am I to construe that all other "Gospel Churches" are not "Full" unless explicitly specified?

Okay, must engage in food seeking behavior.

Wow, did Santa Claus grant [livejournal.com profile] scarcrest one of his Smallville plot wishes tonight?

Well, sorta.
