My political statement is too progressive for this lifetime, but it's fun to imagine... Elimination of inherited wealth. Dramatic cuts in military spending saving millions of dollars. Establishment of the Federal New Initiatives Commission which would be responsible for exploring nano/biotech as a means to solve issues surrounding hunger, waste, energy, desalination, military threats, etc. Abolishment of congress and subsequent establishment of a unicameral system for the Legislative branch saving billions of dollars. Mandatory abortions for any female under the age of 25.

Anyone who studied a little genetics in high school has heard of adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine - the A,T,G and C that make up the DNA code. But those are not the whole story. The rise of epigenetics in the past decade has drawn attention to a fifth nucleotide, 5-methylcytosine (5-mC), that sometimes replaces cytosine in the famous DNA double helix to regulate which genes are expressed. And now there's a sixth. In experiments to be published online Thursday by Science, researchers reveal an additional character in the mammalian DNA code, opening an entirely new front in epigenetic research.
