Lessons from Kansas - Chimeras
Some statehouses (South Dakota, Mississippi) waste their time making abortion illegal. But the Kansas Legislature got to the heart of the true pro-life issue, proposing a ban on cross-fertilization of human embryos.
No cloning, no embryonic stem-cell research, and no centaurs.
I read this article here [via HuffPo], and got terribly confused, as the story and prose both are all over the fucking place, and now that I know the measure was defeated, I can't even tell you which I think is bat-shit crazier: the measure or its defeat.
Personally, I'm afraid of living in a nation full of Mr. Tumnuses. Those horns and hooves are too Beelzebubish for my taste. But I'm glad that the Kansas House is getting the kids excited to study their Greek mythology again.

Actually, Kansas doesn't allow the study of heretical non-Christian God figures.
Come visit my little island, my oh-so-little-and-as-yet-unfurred-and-untailed-and-unantlered-and-unfinned friend, yes, do come visit.

Ooh, ooh! Prehensile tails, baby!
