[quote]But the people of California say NO to gay marriage and that's what the gay and lesbian alliance is causing all the fuss about[/quote] I know...and I can understand the fuss.

[quote]should be accepted as no different than traditional families. [/quote] Should they not be? The 'traditional family' is by and large a myth.

Usually I use the word, gay. It's faster to say then homosexual. I don't think you can destroy a word. Language is always changing, you just have to go along for the ride.

Perfection in humans is subjective. It is therefore an unnattainable goal. Besides, perfection is extremely boring...there's nowhere to go once you reach it. ~Zoo

[quote]Have a safe trip - and stay warm![/quote] Thanks. Staying warm might be tricky...it's like a tundra out there. :/ I wouldn't be surprised to see caribou or musk oxen. At least there's no snow or ice, though. ~Zoo

So it began and so it shall end. Two-and-a-half hours from now I'll be well on my way slogging through my last final. So much stuff in my head right now...like norepinephrine activating a beta adrenergic receptor which activates a stimulatory G protein that activates adenylyl cyclase which activates cAMP leading the the production of protein kinase A which ends up increasing protein phosphorylation. Signal transduction, baby! Unfortunately that's only a sm

You know what the worst part about biology is? Learning all the hormones, proteins, enzymes, and other biomolecules. It's so tedious and annoying... Unfortunately this exam is on signal transduction, the endocrine system, and reproduction. It is rife with names and acronyms of crap I don't really care about...ugh. ~Zoo
