Re: [APD] glowfish banned

["Justin Collins" <jucollin at du_edu>]

Yes you can.  Know of anyone in North America using DDT?  Doing frontal
lobotomies with an ice pick (don't laugh-psychiatrists used to insert the
icepick through the eye socket of schizophrenics until they thought they
were in the frontal lobe, and wave it around a bunch to turn that part of
the brain into mush)?  I have mixed feeling about GM stuff, however, what
little good will I have is tempered by numerous "safe" technologies that
were shown to be dangerous.  I'm not morally opposed to cute little glowing
red fish.  I just want to know that there is no risk to the outside world
when someone flushes a danio (which are remarkable hardy) down the drain.
Who knows?  Maybe they'll prove a better food source for wild fish since
they'll be easier to spot?
