Even though the U.S. Department of Agriculture forces us to pay billions in farm subsidies, they don't want to use the coercive power of the state to take a DNA sample from you. So they make it fun! The USDA gave $200,000 of taxpayer's money to the Houston Community College System so they could hold DNA Day 2007. There will be all-day activities for 120 kids, from DNA finger-printing to extracting DNA from cheek cells using a "Genes-in-a-bottle" kit. What a fun way to surrender your identity to the state! I guess the census is not thorough enough.
Time to go see Uma Thurman, Ethan Hawke, and Jude Law in Gattatica again.

G-A-T-T-A-C-A. It's GATTACA. It's an acronym for Guanine, Adenine, Thymine, Thymine, Adenine, Cytosine, Adenine in DNA.
I enjoy reading your blog. :)
