Most of those ships have sailed. I see GOOD things using our collective DNA to nail rapists and murderers who have remained hidden for decades. It pleases me to know that camera's and DNA Scientists may do more than even my favorite detectives on TV to catch the bad guys and girls. (Smugly knowing women are not as active at murdering as men. ) (Smugly also knowing that most of the men I have known are really great guys) Go for it Dean. I am guessing you belong to the Germanic tribe. ( I notice the new regime are using that word, tribe, a lot) lol.

Thanks G. I am swaying to the side of -what the hell do I have to lose. Yes - paternal side, German - maternal English. Thanks all for your stories and insight and concerns etc etc. Nice to get all the feedback - a positive for ToTV. BTW, if anyone IS interested in learning more about the DNA stuff - that NOVA episode was so insightful.
