Bush Votes for Suffering
Sparxafire!
No surprises or anything like that, but today, your leader voted to maintain his stubbornly uninformed stranglehold on humanitarian research that holds every promise of mitigating suffering, and curing disease. “No!” he declared. “No new stem cell research! I forbid this! God told me so!”
A great victory, indeed for, uh… for the primitive, radical fundamentalist species that does not believe in evolution, and therefore has not evolved into the 21st century.
C’mon, people, it’s time to toe up to the mark; religion is disappearing fast and it’s for our own good. Because once it blinks out altogether, we will be able to conduct ourselves as sensible adults, devoid of externally imposed shame, warfare and other religious silliness. Deep down, you knoooow I’m riiiiiight!
So, your leader, who can’t grasp the basics of global warming because it interferes with his “oil always and forever” upbringing, (and there is some math involved…) is similarly loop-dee-looped on the urgency of progress with stem cell research … because it interferes with his, uh, his what? His “every life is sacred” deal? Does he even have that? Do the soldiers in Iraq know about this?
Maybe he is against stem cell research because, even though “God created stem cells,” and probably sent them to us in the hope we would eventually “discover their great healing and curative powers,” it is suddenly no longer righteous to tamper with God’s gifts? God allowed us to discover the polio vaccine, and aspirin and x-ray technology, but he suddenly does not want mankind to mess with these here stem cells because, because… uh, well? He has to put his foot down somewhere? Because we all know God has a foot.
Damn! I just can’t find your leader’s angle. Can you? Anyone know what is the deal?
Ahhhhhhh….hold on a minute! Is it some mysterious pharmaceutical lobby that fears stem cell cures may eventually replace their drugs and chemical cures? OK. That’s good. THAT FITS. Let’s go with that. Sparxafire, indeed.
