Here’s Christopher Reeve talking about cloning research. Great article. He’s right about everything, but the thing that hit me as the most powerful point is that as funding for scientific progress becomes smaller here and larger overseas, the best scientists will leave our country to set their shops up where they can get the most money for their research. Thereby, the President will continue his crusade to bring the mean intelligence of the United States down to his level (if it isn’t close enough already).
I miss the time late last year when Bush was talking to the American people on television every day, because you would know since he was busy being media-happy, he wasn’t busy trying to make policies.
UPDATE: It seems that the technology advancements our government would rather support comes in the form of shaving razors. (Hm. I could use one of those.)
