yeah, it's hot outside, and people are at their limits... what better time to have national discussion about stem cell research!!!!

we're allowed to have donor registration cards for living people... why not allow people to donate their embryos that they've chosen to NOT USE at the current time (and may never use)for scientific research? Once they've removed the embryo from the womb, isn't that already abortion?? Isn't the church against artificial means of conception/birth? Aren't we talking about the viability of a SMALL bunch of cells, versus the potential life-saving benefits they could contribute to LARGER bunches of cells?? We allow 'controlled' testing of new drugs and therapies ultimately with Human subjects... what better way to make final determination of safety and efficacy??? What exempts embryo's from being volunteered??? Any embryo that doesn't want to be part of stem cell research, take one step back!!!!!

Am I starting something here???? u betcha!
of course I'm sure I won't hear the end of it!

oh yeah...
fuck dubya, he's such a weenie to the republican right, and his decision is nothing more than political pandering... any pretense by him to have understood any of this stuff is laughable! Image

I started out liking Bushes speech. After his hesitance about all the facts, and going deep into a spiritual faction. His words were nothing more than BULL FUCKING CRAP.

* I can understand why he is deadly against human cloning.....God forbid, there should be two of him. One ass-hole is enough, for me.

***Glad when theres a change in the weather. Arnie's liking that F-off gremlin way too much these days.....

Utah Phillips quoting Idaho Blackie:

"If elections could change this system, they'd be outlawed."

"If God wanted us to vote, He'd have given us candidates."

No, see, you have it all wrong. George II isn't king. He's the head good ol' boy. Polls say if the election was today it would split 48%-48% all over again. Maybe fewer Nader voters, so the corporations would have to hire more lawyers to steal it.

The guy's vacationing for a month in Waco, Texas. He's the yahoo-in-chief. Someone else runs the country. They come and say, "George, we have to bomb Iraq," and George says, "Well what are you looking at me for?" and they say, "It's like the executions in Texas, you have to authorize it," and he says, "Well, sure, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do," and goes back to his bottle and Celebrity TV Monster Truck Rodeo Championships.

That's all you have to know there.
