They can put a man on the moon, but....

Or I should have called the subject "Why I support genetic engineering.." [img]/forums/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

My place is south of Houston. Hot, muggy, flat, but with gorgeous trees. Anyway, now that you know the general area, this is what I want the Aggies at Texas A&M to genetically engineer:

1. Black Angus cattle that thrive on poison ivey, rag weed, and blood weed!
2. A Bing Cherry tree that will grow and produce in my climate.
3. Rainbow, Brook, or Brown trout that will thrive in my stagnant, coffee colored, 85 degF pond.

I am a simple man with simple wants [img]/forums/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Simple wants? Yes, but probably much more difficult, and much more expensive, than putting a man on the moon. [img]/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

About item #1... You forgot ceresea lespedeza (sp) AKA poor man's alfalfa.

Don't forget the law of unintended consequences... We created the iron horse, and now look what we have. With the good comes the bad. I do not mean that as a political statement but as an example of unintended consequences. I don't want anyone misunderstanding my harmless statement.
