Urban Rambling (at Goucher)

The year is ending. What the hell? That was quick.

As my freshman year comes to an end I can safely say I think I’m a better person now than when I began. I guess thats a good thing, which is strange because it sounds completely arrogant — which makes sense. Because I am.

That was a dumb introduction, I apologize. Hopefully I’ll say something extraordinarily clever and redeem myself — keep reading.

PETA also known as “the activists we all love to hate” has issued a million dollar prize to someone who can produce commercially viable, artificially grown meat. They want meat from a test tube essentially. This is stupid, you can’t present a prize like this and ask for the result to be commercially viable. First of all, science prizes should encourage actual scientific research, not 50% science %50 business. Second, if someone does develop meat that can be grown for prices similar to that of slaughtering actual animals, I doubt they’re going to care about a measly million dollar prize.
