"So who decides who's going to get cloned - just the rich people who can afford to pay to clone themselves?" "What a dreadful thought: a couple of dozen Conrad Blacks walk- ing around," said Cliff Murray. "I don't know, at least he'd have enough money that all of his clones would be million- aires," said George. "They wouldn't be on welfare like a lot of those people who are breeding like rabbits." "I don't know, I think they should give it all up as a bad idea," said Molly Whiteside as the delivered Cliff's bacon and eggs. "We've got too much mass production in the world already." "Oh, I could use a mass-produced Michele Pfeiffer clone under my tree for Christmas," said Dave. "Yeh but they don't come all grown up," Cliff reminded him. "You'd be getting a baby." "Yeh, you play with that toy and you'd get charged with child molestation." said Molly. "I guess that's right - you still have the messy part of raising the kid, don't you," said Dave. "And you miss out on the fun of starting it," said Cliff. "I mean all that stuff in a petri dish - I just don't get it." "It's all those geeks from science class who get a kick out of it," said George. "Oh.I remember a few of those science geeks who at least thought they'd like to experiment the good old-fashioned way," said Molly. "You had to watch them when you were bending over the Bunsen burner." "I know how they feel," said Dave fondly as he watched Molly bend over to wipe the next table. She The world's problems are soloed daily 'round the table at MabeI's looked around, saw the object of his eye, straightened up and threw him a hard look, then quickly disappeared into the kitchen. "Hey Molly, my coffee's cold," he called out. "Warm it up yourself Mr. Hotstuff," she called. "One thing I hope they don't clone is any more of those weirdos from PETA," said George. "Did you see those guys in London in those silly cow costumes? Talk about cruelty to animals!" "How do those guys get away with those lies?" said Cliff. "I mean saying dairy products give you pimples and gas. I don't know too many teenagers who get pimples because of too much milk - more likely from too much Coke." "And if you're worried about gas, I think a vegetarian should know you get a lot more gas from salad than from cheese," said Dave. "That's why those PETA people are such windbags," said George. "Oh well, with another round of WTO talks coming up it's probably only a matter of time before we don't have a dairy industry here for them to protest," said Cliff. "Then the PETA folks can get people to give donations so they can go down to New Zealand to protest cruelty to dairy cows," said George. "In the middle of winter, no doubt," said Dave. "Well you sure can't afford to go south to Florida, not with the Can- adian dollar the way it is," said George. "Hey don't knock the dollar when it's down," said Cliff. "It's the only thing that makes the price of corn and soybeans manageable." "I don't feel sorry for anybody having to convert bucks for a trip south," said Dave. "I figure if you can afford to go south, you can afford the exchange rate. Otherwise you can stay here and suffer with the rest of us." "Except some of us don't seem to suffer as much as others," said Cliff looking out at George's expensive clubcab in the parking lot. "Being stuck with you guys all winter is suffering enough," said George as he got up to leave.0 i
