European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - June 15, 2007, Darmstadt, Hesse                                June 2007 stars and stripes Page 17 opinion two americas not for Hilton and Libby James Pinkerton John the millionaire suggests that the Paris Hilton Case bolsters his argument that there Are two of for presidential candidate de targeting the left end of the demo cratic every thing proves that there Are two Edwards himself proves there is More than one Ameri after not too Many of us put their millions into overseas Are paid a year to advise a hedge fund and enjoy but what about the implication of Edwards argument reinforced by the Al who said last week that the Hil ton Case had All the appearances of economic and racial criminal jus is divided Between the privileged and unprivileged for differential at least in los is not necessarily based on in actress Michelle sentenced to 60 Days in jail on a Drunken driving spent just a couple of hours in the can before her lawyers got her which is to say Paris the pouting Little Rich is being singled out for harsh the presiding judge in this Michael was determined to make an example of so when Hiltons lawyers pulled strings to beat the rap even though such string pulling is Par for the course the infuriated Sauer ordered the heiress Back to so score one for Middle class be cause John Edwards is there Are not two Rich and there Are three americas the the poor and those in the its the Middle class the silent majoritarian who pay their taxes and play by the rules who ultimately control the politics of this thanks to their preponderant voting the Rich tend to think they can buy their Way out of any Jam by hiring spin doctors or a month or two at some deluxe rehab and the poor at least those no strivers who listen to professional grief Anc mongers such As Sharpton often see the Law As some sort of imposition on their so the Rich and the unmotivated poor Are oftentimes found in Alliance against the mid dle the Rich dont wish to for sex the drug figuring they can afford the consequences of a Wastrel and the poor More the Lumpen underclass figure they have nothing to so Why not enjoy its the Middle class and those who aspire to be Middle class those who know they need to stay sober to hold a Job and make the mortgage who become the bulwark of conservatism and Law and this instinct toward enforcing the even against the Rich and has nothing to do with a Case in Point is an other on the other Reggie Wal an Africa american from a hard crab to staying in the Bush its not at Bap career ble town in Pennsylvania who made his name As a drug Law appointed to the Federal Bench by George Wal ton has always stood for equal Justice under the and having presided Over the conviction of former White House aide Lewis Scooter Libby on four felony Wal ton was unimpressed by the blizzard of Spe Cial pleadings on Libby behalf from big shots who showered into his in like Sauer in the Hilton Walton seems to have been annoyed by such obvious Fina gling on behalf of a privileged defend so Walton sentenced Libby to a Tough 30 months in the Slammer and invited lib Bys Bigshot friends to use their Legal talents to help Les fortunate so let Justice be to both Hilton and by the lets remind John Edwards that most americans Are in the Middle not at the not at the James Pinkerton is a new York new Day update on the Birds and bees it takes one to tango by William Saletan its time to talk about the Birds and the i dont mean youve Al ready heard that Story boy meets sperm meets a baby grows in Mommy that the Way of All or so you were you know How it is with the stories we Teu we leave a few things out of that Birds Andrees the truth is that Many bees dont have neither do some if s called parthenogenesis literal Virgin were finding More animals that can reproduce this and were learn ing How to Engineer it in were even tinkering with Mommy daddy procreation in if you think sex is wait till you see the in fertilized eggs become unfertilized eggs become even with out a some female honeybees can keep a Colony going by laying eggs that Fertil ize Birds do up to 30 percent of unfertilized Turkey eggs can spontaneously begin to in one selective Breeding boosted the rate above 40 a 1975 government report documented More than 50 mature turkeys that we rent a parthenogenesis has been verified in various snakes and extending the list to about 70 vertebrate including frogs and but the beasts at the top of the food to Modo dragons seemed in nature delivered the first Shock parthenogenesis in Tomodo tests showed that seven juvenile dragons in european zoos were unfertilized known As the Jour Nal the process haunt been proved in Sharks or and there seemed to be a Good reason an egg that fertilizes it self makes two identical sets of Chromo including sex in snakes and most two identical sex chromosomes make a that allows parthenogenesis to function As a Dan survival because an isolated female close your toys can produce a son and mate with but in Sharks and Mam this  because two identical sex make a or so we three weeks biology letters delivered the second Surprise Virgin birth in a Hammerhead a perfectly formed baby shark had appeared in a tank i Nebraska that held Only females of her tests proved the was a Why haunt we found parthenogenesis in these animals before we haunt Sev eral Sharks have mysteriously reproduced in Captivity in recent scientists now think that parthenogenesis is of the two sexually mature female Tomodo dragons in both Are now known to have reproduced this for explaining everyday life puberty the Mommy daddy Story of procreation works but at lifes conventional like convention Al Breaks As you approach the Speed of time slows and distances and As you approach genes find new ways to pass themselves scientists Call it reproductive a Sharks got to do what a Sharks got to mammals Are we have a mechanism called which foils Parthenon but weve also developed an Organ mat can foil imprinting the human a few years scientists produced 10 two of them apparently by manipulating a couple of genes so that eggs could fertilize each the scientists predicted even greater improvements in the efficiency of parthenogenetic development in and they vowed to try next with will we try parthenogenesis in humans we already biotech companies Are Rushing to industrialize with one claiming a dominant Patent position in the production of human embryonic Stem cells by Par the Stem cell version of parthenogenesis cant make but the mouse version might be Able it would make it possible for two women to create a child together not a but a mixture of genes from each just like you or were not there but were on the two years British officials authorized human procreation using nuclear Dan from one and mitochondria Dan from a second the categories weve always taken for granted animals Are but theres no going Back to the
