I saw this in soc.women.  

To win first prize in today's DOD contest, find the comment in
Mr. Knight's reply that DOD is most likely to ignore.

### One of the TV news programs did a segment on the need for fetal tissue

##This is complete nonsense.  Fetal tissue research is still in the

#OOOhhhh poor little Doug-E Hoser what's it like in the closed up tiny mind
#of yours? The program that Janice was refering to was "60 Mintues" maybe you
#heard of it? OOOhhh well just trust me it is a legitimate news program. The
#Monday after this story aired I posted pretty much the same thing as Janice. 
#I even included a disclaimer that said "If you doubt this post *please* write
#to "60 Mintues" for a transcript." I put that there because *I* was surprised
#and amazed had what I had just seen. What did you do D. Hoser? You promtly
#called me a lair and claimed that the reason the disclaimer was there is 
#because I knew I was lying. (A little hint here:When lying do *NOT* give 
#sources that will prove you are lying!) You are either willingly ignorant
#of the fact that fetal tissue research has gone beyond experimental or your
#little mind won't grasp the inconsistencies that exist in the current 
#adminstrations policies. Fact is that the before mentioned baby would have
#a)died before birth
#b)lived a short and miserable life
#if it had not gotten the fetal tissue transplant which you say is technically
#impossible. Another little fact:this was *NOT* an isolated event. There are
#a handful of privately funded doctors who  do this procedure all the time, 
#not to be anti-establishment but to save the lives of unborn babies. If the
#government were to give its "blessing"(pun intended)then there would be 
#thousands of doctors out there doing the same procedure. Pls. note none of 
#this has anything to do w/ being pro-whatever just that the current policy 
#could have adverse affects on you or your childern's health.
#
#OOOOhhh never mind D. Hoser I didn't mean to imply you should take off your
#hood or anything like that. You just be you O.K.? and hope you never need a
#medical procedure that the government frowns upon.
