What irks me about the whole stem research business is this: Bush didn't ban embryonic stem cell research, he merely limited government funding in that direction. Yet the MSM (and others) persist in getting that wrong, and have done so for literally years now.

Looking at the government's track record in picking winners, however, I would much prefer that medical research funding be entirely left to a) the medicine companies, and b) the various special interest charities. Both of those groups appear to me to be infinitely better equipped to make intelligent decisions than the government.

Let the market make the decisions.

Oh, come now, Bill. Haven't you learned yet that actual, you know, facts can't be brought into any discussion about the Left's Sacred Cows?

Hiya Stacy.

Figured I'd better check in every 6 months or so, or you might think I fell off the face of the earth.

Hope you and yours are well. Maybe I'll put all of the sordid details of my disappearance up, if anyone cares.

Hugs,

The Exile

Buenos dias, senorita (sorry, can't do the tilde thing, or the accent marks either). ?Como estas? [I took Spanish in high school, more years ago than I care to remember. I can read a little bit, but can't comprehend the speed at which native speakers talk.]
