"God" backwards... the joke "Did you know what the atheist, who was dislexic with insomnia used to do?" he would lay awake at night wondering if there was a dog.

What has this got to do with war? Bush will not give a penny to stem cells if we were rolling in cash tomorrow. However, it is always about the war with you, isn't it? Everything is the war. I suppose if a bus runs off a cliff tomorrow, it will still be because of the war, right? If not for the war, the bus might have better tires and breaks and better maintenance. Therefore, if we didn't spend money on the war, the bus would not have run off the cliff.

$$$ We are spending money that we are BORROWING to fight a war. Money that could be spent SAVING lives, not ending them.

I don't know how much simpler myself and other here have to make it for you.

Nothing could be simpler than your explanation.

I don't know how much simpler I can make it for you. No matter what we spend or don't spend on anything else Bush will NEVER allocate a penny to Stem Cell Research. We could be flat broke or stuffed to the gills with money. As long as he is Prez, he will veto it because of whatever belief he has.

And just so we're all clear on where you and Bot stand on this... you both think this is a good allocation of resources, correct? Bombs, not lives. Do we have that right?

Just so we're all clear, the Constitution clearly states that the authorization for war comes from Congress and is executed by the President and the Constitution is mute on funding research.

On a personal level, I have no problem with anybody engaging in experimental embryology. Heck, I did it several until my vasectomy.
