With the new stem cell bill coming up in Congress, I find this fascinating:
Shares of biotech companies working on stem cell-related therapies surged Thursday as Democrats in Congress prepared to promote once again legislation that would increase government-funded research in this area.

Ask yourself this--Why is it that biotech stocks are rising despite the fact that the new bill promotes federal funding for stem cell research? Could it be that the new bill would benefit private companies as well? You bet! The National Institutes of Health have funding programs for both academic labs and small businesses. And on top of that, even the larger pharmaceutical companies rely on academic studies, funded by the feds, to assist them with their own research. This new bill is good for business. This is a bill that even corporate America can support.

Hy Doc:
You're MAD I tell you mad.
Trying to find ways to restore sight to blind people.
How dare you get in the way of the Lord?
If he wanted the "blind to see" you would have found precedent in the Bible.
Oooops: Never mind.
Forgive them Doc for they know not what they talk about.
Keep on cloning.
You realize that the eye LENS itself to puns.
Tell me you did not just open yourself up to Aqueous Humor.
I think the Almighty can forgive a lack of capitalization much sooner than a lack of tolerance.
Fa(R)me(R) 'The John': ..and as more stem cell lines become available, the so-called "researchers become MORE and MORE irresponsible.
SG: It's the same with freedom ... And that is why the president has to limit it with warrentless spying and free speech zones 'n stuff
Fa(R)me(R) 'The John': ..At least now, the limits force a prioritization...
SG: So if you were limited to 25 words or less, you comments would improve, here?
Fa(R)me(R) 'The John': if the bill passes we'll just have inductrial-scale trial and error programs
SG: Trial and Error ... Now there's something I think we should try to keep outta Scientific research. Like WMD, Saddam purhasing Yellow Cake, studies on Iraq, we should know what answer we want before we start anything open-ended
Fa(R)me(R)'s Bill O'(R)eilly's 'John': ...and gronk, keep your damn mouth shut until you actually have a clue.
Fa(R)me(R) 'The John': Your genetic-research "industry" collegues have thusfar not proven themselves very responsible
SG: NOT like our President, big Oil, Pat Roberts, Haliburton, Jerry Falwell, etc.
Fa(R)me(R)'s Bill O'(R)eilly's 'John': ...and gronk, keep your damn mouth shut until you actually have a clue.
Fa(R)me(R) 'The John': ...cures and make MONEY. And that usually entails taking risks
SG: Yes it does ... and we should avoid unknowns and hypotheticals, 'cause what would happen if we didn't!?
Fa(R)me(R)'s Bill O'(R)eilly's 'John': ...and gronk, keep your damn mouth shut until you actually have a clue.
FaR)me(R)'s 'John': Oh, that's right, I forgot Gronk's Law - only right wingers can be intolerant bigots.
SG: Gronk's Law - right wingers MAY be intolerant bigots ... anyone CAN be!
Fa(R)me(R) Bill O'(R)eilly's 'John': ...and gronk, keep your damn mouth shut until you actually have a clue.
Snerd
Fa(R)me(R): g(R)onky?
SG: g(R)onk!? (R)n't your trying to say Sner(D) ...
And to think that the term 'farmer' was once used in a de-rogue-a-To(R)y fashion
Snerd
Well Doc, your blog used to be 'on the slide', but I see the traffic on your 'scientific' blog (all Science is personal), has really been picking up ... How are you ever going to 'stem the flow'?
Maybe you would 'regale' on you take on all this ... 'populist, pola(R)ized, popularized science'.
Snerd

"g(R)onky"

Where did all the manure come from?
I do appreciate the tip though. I should have capitalized Bunny,
Thanks for noticing.
As far as the religious convention goes however Fuck Off.
The name is Yahweh. It is a convention to use the upper case as it was a verbal history.
There was no alphabet when he created the world you moron.
Believe whatever you want just keep it the fuck out of my life.
PS: Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Jealous?
Jealous of what? Baal? Gog? Magog?
Read the fucking book believer.
Bunny loves you.
I could be wrong but I don't recall saying that you were a follower of the Dionysian cloned demi-god?
He is that he is.
Bun Bun loves you.
PS: I was suggesting the original not the sequel. Try the Apocrypha as well.
"Where did all the manure come from?"
