Re: gene leakage
I had read *The Ghost in your Genes* posted by rudenski about two years ago, and then, yes, I did watch the vids you had posted as well.
This stuff fascinates me... and scares the he!! out of me at the same time with the biblical, and other religious implications that we tend to ignore.
>>"Suddenly, it's US. The cells that I call ME are mostly bacteria and funguses and parasites. Inside my own body I am the ultimate ethnic minority. I'm surrounded, inside and out. I'm never anywhere near alone. I am a community, an entire ecosystem. I am a world apart. except for the "apart" part. A collective. And when I die, when the one I call me is gone, there will still be more than 100,000,000,000,000 living things lying where I fell and all of them will be filled up with pieces of me."<<
Think that it may have anything to do with, considering the *communications* involved between these organisms and our cells, our connection, and communications path to all that is? Or, at minimum, our connection to our environment?
Have you ever stopped to ponder, why *medicine*, and agricultural practices are built and designed to *stop* that information flow?
Man sure doesn't get it yet... and I suspect, there is much more information coming down the pike in the next few years... assuming that the research *funding* survives any inevitable regional\global financial turmoil.
