HISTORY IN THE MAKING 2008-2016

Good luck!

We've spent a good many years discussing politics, life, society and history. Most of all, the makers of history. The great events that changed the world - people, places, actions. Small acts have changed its hard-worn course, and effort and circumstance can make of its small actors immortal greats. In line with that sentiment, it seems pertinent now to recognize the potential of those who've made up this community for years, obvious through their contributions to the spirited debate and discussion that has proceeded here. HITM has sadly gone silent, though perhaps not lacking for things to say about making history, but rather for the realization that it is time we all commenced to do so, and make our mark.

Good luck to you all, see you in the history books!

I figure this would go here, as it is rather historic, as well as interesting. The first commercially cloned dog was delivered to a family in Florida on the 26th.

Well yes, but this is different. They paid US$156000 to have their favorite dog cloned. Now imagine it; if they can clone animals, why not manipulate them as well? Why not make new dogs instead of breeding them? Why not have blue fur or cat like eyes? Why not have fangs or horns or even wings? Hell, why not have custom made pets altogether? Throw in some turkey, some lizard, some hawk and WHAM! Velociraptoroid.

You don't read enough science related literature.

I don't think he reads much period, but that's me.
As for the dog, this evokes something I read in time on cloning:
"People clone these animals thinking they will be identical to the originals, but sadly, they end up having a very rude surprise"
"There are strange things done in the midnight sun,
by the men who moil for gold; the arctic trails have their secret tales that'd make your blood run cold...
the Northern Lights have seen queer sights, but the queerest they ever did see...
was that night on the marge of Lake LeBarge, that I cremated Sam McGee."

Well, TV is always based 100% on fact, so it's always right :P

Obviously Timeshares are a stable investment in these economic times and you can't go wrong!
