...That notion "gets you into a series of real problems," he replied. He sketched one out: the human genome contains nonfunctional elements in the precise spot where they can be found on the chromosomes of lower animals. If God was creating humans afresh, Collins asked, "why would he insert a pseudo-gene that has lost its ability to do anything in the same place that it appears in a chimp?" Barring evolution, "you're forced to the conclusion that God was trying to mislead us and test our faith - and I have trouble with that kind of conjecture...
...proponents of "net neutrality" have offered few if any specific examples of how broadband companies have abused their power, which helps explain why Congress has now twice rejected attempts to insert language ensuring "net neutrality" into a telecommunications bill it is considering. Despite an intense lobbying effort by bloggers and Google, the House rejected net neutrality 269 to 152 last month.

Even as he seeks the "end of tyranny in our world," Bush would also remake the government's entitlement system, rewrite the nation's tax code, reform its legal system, revolutionize worker training and health care; he would amend the constitution to define marriage and insert Washington into the nation's local schools as never before. In May, the administration celebrated one of its most trivial, and typical, programs - the Department of Transportation's "Click It or Ticket," which mobilizes the federal government to make sure that every driver in the country...is wearing his seatbelt...
