We Should Also Ban Transporter Beams
13 December 2004
"[Anthony] Romero of the A.C.L.U. said that beyond filing legal challenges, liberals needed to appropriate the language of morality from Christian conservatives to capture the popular imagination," reports The NYT. We think that's an odd concession of the media's power from the A.C.L.U., which, as we understood it, is supposed to defend rights, imagination be damned. Also of note in this report on Christian conservative efforts in state legislature is the news that Texas Christian conservatives seek to ban human cloning -- a clear media ploy, since aside from the "cloning" used for stem cell research, human cloning is impossible. Unless, that is, Texas conservatives have been talking to Raelians.
