Quotes about genes, page 6
Monsanto or Monsatan?
Monsanto perpetrating stealth genocide;
By splicing genes of animals, insects n' plants
They've pushed 'Mother Nature' far aside
Imagine eating corn crossed with fish or ants

Gods and Husbands
Men are conditioned to cleave to the gods.
Women are conditioned to cleave to husbands.
No rationales can uproot their tendencies.
These are in the genes, planted long ago..

The unequal legacy
I came from two parents, four grandparents,
Their eight, sixteen and thirtytwo and so on.
I am known by my father, his father
And his, other donors of my genes expelled.

God, our genes, our environment, or some stupid programmer keying in code at an ancient terminal - there's no way free will can ever exist if we as individuals are the result of some external cause.

It is from the progeny of this parent cell that we all take our looks; we still share genes around, and the resemblance of the enzymes of grasses to those of whales is in fact a family resemblance.

In 15 years we'll have all the sequence, a list of the genes everyone has in common and those that differ among people. We know only something like a tenth of 1 percent of the sequence at the moment.

One of the biggest mistakes that people make when they think about memes is they try to extend on the analogy with genes. That's not how it works. It works by realizing the concept of a replicator.

Crime Knows No Color
Crime knows no color
It can plague anyone
A desire to always score
A stealing to be done.
Crime is color blind
Its no respecter of race
But genes will always find
Crime there has a trace.
