You can do that simply by calling your representatives' offices Well, who among the krause-obsessed Bush-Cheney cheerleaders is going to do that? They don't want the truth. Kinda funny, really. The sad thing is that rest of the country... and those of us who love the Chesapeake... have to live with the consequences. DSK We're living with the consequences of Bush's stupidity every day of the week. I watched the idiot today, commenting on the passage of a Bill that would provide federal funding for more extensive stem-cell research. It was obvious he hadn't a clue about the science involved, not a frippin' clue. Bush's brand of ignorant fundamentalist Christianity is going to put off the day on which medical science will achieve a major breakthrough that will help save the life of someone in everyone's family. Those Americans still able to think will understand this, and will resent Bush and candidates like him for slowing progress. It's the same with the environment. Bush is the anti-environment president. Sooner or later, the public will perceive the truth about Bush and the environment. I think Bush is pushing himself into lameduckdom three years early. If it does, we'll all be better off for it. There is no law against stem cell research! Bush can only prohibit Federal money going to the research. He may be correct. We in California, at least a majority of misinformed ones, voted to fund stem cell research. To the tune of $6 billion dollars, and that is in a bankrupt state. The law is written where. we the taxpayers of California put up the money, but have no say in how it is spent, and get none of the patent rights from the research. We are being the venture capitalists, we ought to get the benefits. The drug companies, in my estimation, and all of the left here, can fund their own research. Most drugs are developed 95% in universities and government funded research, but the drug companies take the research the extra 5% and patent it. Then we get to pay extra for drugs we paid to develop. I agree that if the public puts up the money, it ought to own the research and the patents. We're falling behind in stem cell research. The Israelis, for example, are way ahead of us. At some point in the not too distant future, a foreign country's research is going to produce a stem cell cure for some serious ailment, and that research will be the result of messing about with stem cells in ways the lunatic right doesn't like. It will attempt to restrict the "cure." That will be the end of the lunatic right. -- Impeach Bush Where is the law that says our companies and individuals can not do stem cell research? |
