I think it will be cheaper and easier too. (As well as way scarier in potential.<BR/> Thinking about the implications for bionanotechnology is not for the faint of heart.) But that's way off the thread here. <BR/> So, how about that guest worker program and how it might benefit the G.O.P.? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27070282.post-1164218982035383532006-11-22T12:09:00.000-06:002006-11-22T12:09:00.000-06:00Mr. Hargis, An interesting post there, and I like ...Mr. Hargis, <BR/><BR/>An interesting post there, and I like your conclusion a lot, which is probably no surprise to you.<BR/><BR/>I have to admit that this subject is not one in which I am very much informed. I think it's probably because it amounts to a bottom-line type deal with me in accordance with your final paragraph, and therefore it only interests me to the extent that something be done to stop, or prevent the government sanction and funding of destroying human life.<BR/><BR/>Come to think of it, in order to stop it, and to protect life, each of us needs to be informed as much as possible on the subject, no? I guess I better inform myself.<BR/><BR/>P.S. You guys edit that second paragraph as much as you like to make it more in line with my new revelation. ;)Terry Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166609562028309038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27070282.post-1164173859724682742006-11-21T23:37:00.000-06:002006-11-21T23:37:00.000-06:00According to a story I read some weeks ago, the di...According to a story I read some weeks ago, the director of the California Center for Regenerative Studies (I think that's right) said that an actual product, available to the public and derived from embryonic stem cells, was at least 15-20 years away. That's why no private money is going to embryonic stem cell research, at least not much. That's also why they're yelling for federal funding. You don't have to produce results to get money from Uncle Sam.<BR/><BR/>My understanding is that embryonic stem cells, being the precursors to all types of human cells, are uncontrollable when injected into animal tissue and usually form tumors. Adult stem cells, on the other hand, are already specialized and are already being used to cure diseases.<BR/><BR/>Another thing that guy from the CCRS said was that it very well may be that embryos need not be destroyed to obtain stem cells. All that is assuming that embryonic stem cells turn out to be controllable in the first place.<BR/><BR/>I'm all for better living through science, but let's face it, an embryo is a human being at a very early stage of development, just as I am a human being at a very arrested stage of development (that was a joke, mostly). If I don't stand up for them, who'll be left to stand up for me?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27070282.post-1164167815573651642006-11-21T21:56:00.000-06:002006-11-21T21:56:00.000-06:00Mom,You and me both.

"Speaking as a former embryo" as Laura Ingraham says, we've got no business using embryos for liberals' insane social engineering. Then again, I have a healthy respect for our charter document, the Declaration of Independence. Some, it appears, don't.<BR/><BR/>J,<BR/><BR/>Yeah, he was sure sounding like people need to re-think supporting the guest worker plan, that opposing it is going to cost "us." Pretty much the talking points of the MDM (mentally deranged...)these days, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>-AHMichael Tamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16861899520031696061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27070282.post-1164162438890563532006-11-21T20:27:00.000-06:002006-11-21T20:27:00.000-06:00Interesting writing A.H.Question: You mentioned th...Interesting writing A.H.<BR/><BR/>Question: You mentioned the concern of the GOP chairman about losing 80% of the Latino vote. The spirit of his comments was courting these voters with respect to immigration reform. Was this in the spirit of granting amnesty to illegal aliens, in order to sway the Latino vote?
