By Dr. Elena Rios

Editorial
President Bush Bent on Self Destruction
Incredibly, President George W. Bush is bent on bringing
about his own self-destruction. The President can perhaps plead
stupidity, since he is probably the most inept President this
country has ever had. Or, he can blame his cabinet appointees
for their inability to look beyond the greed and avarice of their
class.

Biotech Protesters - Why Are We Here?
by Brian Tokar
Why are hundreds of concerned people from all over the country
coming to San Diego to protest this month's biotechnology industry
convention? Reviewing recent media reports, one might conclude
either that people are protesting just for the safe of protesting,
or that we are simply uninformed about the nature of the scientific
and medical breakthroughs that the biotechnology industry promises.
But, as usual, there is another side to the story.

Te
quiero mucho papa

Indudablemente que en la vida de todo ser humano existen dos
seres de carácter invaluable en todo lo habido y por haber,
estos dos seres son los padres, por tradición la madre
siempre ha tenido un lugar preponderantemente preferencial en
esta determinación, el padre ha sido relegado en casi todas
las circunstancias a ocupar un segundo lugar, sin embargo de un
tiempo a la fecha se ha intentado darle el valor que tiene en
la gestación de la familia misma que de ninguna manera
y forma, puede considerarse en segunda posición, creemos
que es tan importante su función en la formación
de la familia, que de ninguna forma puede ser discutible esta
posición, con la salvedad de algunas o muchas excepciones.
