It's happened to all of us at least once. You're down to your last box of 12 gauge slugs and the undead masses are pounding on your door. Food and water are getting scarce and you regret buying the Old Glory Robot Attack Insurance without the Zombie Recovery Rider. You can't call for help because you used your Blackberry batteries up 3 hours after the power went down updating your face book. Well, CNN says you can avoid a slow painful death during a disaster if only you had an old school low power cell phone.

Despite recent genetics studies saying that marrying a cousin may not be all that dangerous for society and some guy who wrote a book on the subject cousin marriage remains illegal in the majority of the United States. In fact, some states (such as Texas) have recently strengthened laws against this subject, taking a play out of Utah's playbook and making it a felony to have sex with a cousin, subject to 10 years in prison and a lifetime on the sex offender registry. Some people think these laws are a horrible idea and point out that even Jesus' parents were probably cousins.

Some justify it because it has always been medically approved. Others justify it because it is an article of religious faith or ritual belief. Others contend it is an effective weapon in the fight against AIDS. Others defend it because Mommy and Daddy did it to them, so they'll just do it to their kids. Then there are those who vehemently condemn it as unwarranted male mutilation. Apparently the last camp is winning the argument because, as the Center for Disease Control reports, circumcision rates for US babies have undergone a steep decline.
