Although this post may "out" me to some here, cannot restrain wrath.

Just received phone call from wife after returning from Dr. appointment. Son, 8 years old, diagnosed at 4 with Type I Diabetes, now up to 6 injections daily. During the appointment, wife broke down in frustration at the insidious and progressive nature of the disease.

Physician took the time to express frustration with the Bush/Religious Right position on stem cell research. She said we have literally lost 8 years of precious research time on the absolute best hope to find a cure - not only for diabetes, but a milieu of other life threatening conditions. All because "W" and his buddies are supposedly protecting the sanctity of life.

How can these religious nutjobs deny hope based on their faulty premise that frozen embryos that are going to be destroyed represent human life and should not be used to help others? Cannot and will not ever believe in the same God as these evil people.

Physician went on to say there is optimism in the medical community that the Obama administration will loosen the absurd restraints and fund stem cell research. McCain is soft on this issue and Palin left her brain in Nome.

Not too proud to admit errors - hereby renouncing previous posts supporting McCain. Sorry for the absurdity of this position.

So, the same folks who deny the existence/benefits of modern science, claim the earth is 6,000 years old, and wear their pious beliefs in a wrathful God on their shirtsleeves can rot in hell.
