  • SCIENCE: Stem cells apparently cure boy’s fatal disease
    And a special “fuck you” to George W. Bush for going out of his way to stop funding of stem cell research.
    I guess Bush hates children? :)

  • CENSORSHIP/IMMIGRATION: Russian leader Vladimir Putin is censoring paper showing slavery level of illegal immigrants – Among the stats: 1 in 7 illegal female immigrants are forced into sexual service. This is one of many problems with illegal immigration.
    And of course the powers that be — whether they are George Bush or Vladimir Putin — will do what they can to keep illegal immigration flowing, because exploitable people are good for business, money, and greed.

    Bush stopped the funding of the research, not the actual research.
    Admittedly this likely hypocritical and laughable in light of other government actions.
    However, to suggest that the funding should be forceable taken from taxpayers, is to suggest the ends justify the means.
    If people don’t pay their taxes should they are imprisoned, if they resist they can be shot.
    I hope to see many new developments via stem cell research, but I don’t condone such force and violence being used or threatened on others.

    I enjoy your presentation, thanks for blogging.
