[Alamo-Girl]

I imagine that betty boop and Alamo Girl are pretty happy about the evolution of Constitutional rights there.

Considering all the previous discussion of the word evolution that is a remarkable statement, since our equal protection was guaranteed by the addition of the 14th Amendment:

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

After all, the mechanism of adding to the genetic code is a major contention by the critics of the theory of evolution - including intelligent design, creationism and directed panspermia.

Very ironic indeed. I did not even think about the addition/evolution argument when I chose that word, but being an evolutionist, I stand by it. Very clever A-girl.
