The Corruption
The Bush Administration is the current iteration of corrupted controllers (spin-doctors), putting an unholy "spin" on good useful information. They are using the churches as religious stooges..... pretty inflammatory even from where I'm sittin'...Retarding all research
The religious right has their awareness misplaced and there timing couldn't be any worse... and you can't even show them the evidence without them flailing and spinning like chickens do for 45 seconds after you cut off the chickens head...Lets Save Lives, First!
The issue is saving lives, now that we can. We can take placental stem cell tissue and cure!!! Cure!!! Cure!!! We Americans can now cure diabetes! We Americans can repair damaged heart tissue and bring stroke victims back from the brink. Why ain't we doin' it? ...'cause somebody says that God says that we shouldn't (more tyranny of the shoulds....). Show me direct reference in the original Greek or Aramaic where God says we should listen to our temporal leaders in matters of science and then blame it all back on God. All funding for stem cell research is being blocked and blamed on God. Yet a billion of His people will die before funding will be OKed again.Tiny Stuff
Stem cells are tiny stuff with a mind of their own. They give us clues to their motives, but its sorta in a secret code, until we get some money to research how they work. Each cell seems to target the tissue its s'posed to and not just willy-nilly any or all tissue. So, if a researcher has a placenta staring back at him, he needs to know where to start carving.Yes, I said placenta. Overseas, other countries are, in my opinion, barbaric! Sure, if they kill a fetus and harvest heart cells which target heart tissue, or harvest brain cells which target lesions left by stroke, its quantum-easier than what American doctors want to do. These targeting cells are harder to find in the placenta. But we treat placentas as garbage and always have since the beginnings of time.......
I don't get it! Why is this labeled as wrong to the point of blocking funding to save lives? I still don't get it! Unless the Golfing-Buddies don't want it until they can CONTROL it.
Fear Factor
However, our temporal leaders say no to this critical funding and are not found guilty of these many murders. They insult my adult-ness and my intelligence by wheeling out religion as a reason!!!God, like Spok, wants us to, "Live long and prosper"!!! If something unholy happens it won't be with a placenta, at least none that I've seen!!!

PS: If power is simply anyones ability to make a difference, then lets form up as a band of brothers and sisters in order to join our separate powers to get this wrong righted!!! Golfers are vulerable when they ain't on the links!!!
