In Reply To: real story here is the overselling of embryonic stem cell research in California - and the glaring conflicts of interest, lack of any real governmental oversight planning, direction, and billions of tax-payer dollars (the most expensive proposal ever enacted in the state) pouring into the pockets of technocrats and scientists. Now that the votes have been counted the most these people can agree upon when pressed is that any solid development vis a vis embryonic stem cells could be decades down the road if ever. You would never have heard them admitting as much before election day. The Democratics promised us that Christopher Reeve would get up out of his wheelchair and walk. On the other hand - that statement was made by the type of guy who's going to profit more than anyone in the end - a malpractice attorney.
Message: Please stop interjecting facts into this arguement. Didn't you know that all it takes is a few more stem cells to cure all known diseases? And if only those dirty rotten Republicans would just remove all restrictions we could cure everything.
