The point is, why would you tie one arm behind your back in a fight against horrible diseases AND international economic competition? The more lines of cells the better, so while you're busy protecting the dignity of a clump of cells in a test tube or a bio-bin top researchers and bio-tech firms are moving to universities and nations that don't hamstring them.

Curb Huckers quote below has rased alot of critisism. So what did he say that was so radical or stupid?
* He rather search for info by him self than be fed by Rupert Murdoch.
* He said that the US has loads of troops and bases in many countries (60 actually).
* He stated the from most congressmen, including O, self admitted fact that they're interventionists rather than constitutionalists.
* He stated that the US is out on a conquest (for natural resources).
* He's seen a pattern over several elections were the US foreign policy hasn't changed much.
* He rings a bell of warning so that you will notice the above (if you haven't already).
What's the controverse?
The US economy can handle the debt it's at, np.
* He doesn't trust the media, and he has realized how the massmedia actually works on the human mind.

So Paul wouldn't have given health care to everybody (lets hope O does), what else wouldn't he be good for? He wouldn't give any bandaid to the big three? Good, let the system crash. What more?

in a dicked up kind of way, this is part of the reason why i haven't been doing much work for the past 8 weeks (it's been trickling in). we have a couple 2-man teams hoping to go on a whirlwind tour installing "stuff" on af bases, but have to wait until the champagne bottle smashes upon the bow of the hms obama

The controversey is not that he points out facts, but that he isolates these facts in the face of the larger pattern of history, then draws a very, very spurious conclusion that there's some sort of shadow puppet-master with a unified goal behind US actions and politics. Of course, it doesn't seem spurious to you because you're also insane.
Also, there's no opposition between being an "interventionist" and a "constitutionalist."

Global gag being the Patriot Act?The body of US 'Policy' is so massive, that it's easy to say he won't change much, or he's just the other side of the same coin, etc.
However, a serious commitment to new energy technologies is a big change. I still believe the US is the most innovative country on Earth (just ask the 'innovators' on Wall St) Pushing an agenda for a cleaner energy economy will create jobs here and begin the long process of weaning us off oil, if not for environmental reasons, then for solidly geopolitical ones. If we're not as beholden to Canada (our number one source of 'foreign oil') and other equally vile totalitarian
monarchies and theocracies in the Middle East, we won't really need to care what happens there as much. If we can innovate and create cost competitive technologies, these are products that we can sell around the world along with the expertise that goes along with them.
Executive order overturning the Global Gag rule ASAP
Congress overturning the fed Stem Cell Funding Restrictions
Re-engagement with the world diplomatically. (The kind of diplomacy that asks questions first.)
And, admittedly minor, but it's been grating for the last 8 years, no more hearing the President of the United States of America, the Commander in Chief, the person some would argue is the single most powerful person on the planet (apologies to the underground lizards) saying "NUKULAR."
Maybe the Bushes are lizards? According to David Icke there are 13(?) bloodlines and those are lizards (if I remember corretly)...

Yesterday on CSPAN
Shouldn't be a big problem. In Sweden the right wing is pushing for tax breaks for companies that donate money to science. Those critisizing that are saying that it's better to give that tax money direct to science, otherwise we will have private companies dictating what fields should be reaserched.
Bravo, the first thing he could do at his new job he did on the first day! Let's see what this leads to.
I'm sorry, I fail to see that part, care to explain?
That's Ron Paul's definition from a recent (2-3 weeks ago) interview I saw with him.
As far as your first bolding, I'd actually rather not.
And as far as the esteemed Mr. Paul is concerned, he might as well have put being a vegetarian in opposition to being a librarian.
Constitutionalism refers to the manner in which the government operates; interventionism refers to a particular foreign policy.
I can easily see where Paultards would draw a conclusion that somehow operating within Constitutional bounds leads to a non-interventionist foreign policy, but this, like many things said by excited, well-meaning idiots, is a leap of logic bridged with aesthetics.

Not unusual, done by most incoming administrations. Good action actually in case some nut case decides to make a statement going out and issue ridiculous executive orders.
looks like uncle ted & bobby byrd-is-the-word got too verklempt with all the pearl clutching:

for byrd's part, i'm sure it was his inner dixiecrat that shat hisself when the nigrah* took office
*not to be confused w/ the n-word, which no self-respecting geriatric southerner would ever murmur outside of church

Huh...go figure...
I once had an unfortunate Everclear experience, but I think the thickness and high sugar content of a port that's been sitting for 4 years might be worse.
I suspected that you wouldn't. This is just one of your usual blind defences of your country (that I've clashed with you many times before), and then try to spin it.
This is an interesting topic, maybe we have the time to look at your constitution one day.
No, seriously, rockwool, if you don't get it at the get-go it's not like any amount of logic or explanation is going to work on you. Why waste the effort?I suspected that you wouldn't. This is just one of your usual blind defences of your country (that I've clashed with you many times before), and then try to spin it.
Ah, no, it's yet another example of me giving a blindingly obvious statement like "that car is red" and you asking "Why? Please explain" and me simply not wanting to waste the time. But I guess I'll be baited once more. The statement is self-explanatory. He has cherry-picked a few statements and drawn an unreasonable conclusion from them. If he'd said "US foreign policy has become gradually more imperialist, and successive presidents have taken us further down this path," that might be a reasonable conclusion in the face of the totality of historical (and present) facts, though of course we could then get into the political arguments stemming thereof. However, he draws a conclusion that there is a conspiracy or power behind the scenes which has consciously guided or forced the entire US political process towards a pre-determined end.I suspected that you wouldn't. This is just one of your usual blind defences of your country (that I've clashed with you many times before), and then try to spin it.
There's also no "defense of my country" in my objections; they are intellectual objections to faulty reasoning.
We also don't need to discuss the Constitution to point out that there's nothing in there about interventionist or non-interventionist policies. That's like saying we should read through a cook book to ensure there's nothing in there about fixing a car.
Yeah, that. Shoulda left it to the experts.
howard sterns thing on robert byrd the morning after....

Didn't know there was a word for that... And you're expecting me to know everything in your domestic politics wich is impossible. I had to look Global Gag up and who would have guessed that it's about abortion..?
Cus I would for you.
And those grades are:
1) The birth of the Monroe Doctrine in the 1830 (?),
2) The start of the implementation of the MD in the 1880's,
3) The takover of previously Brittish Empire interests in 1945,
4) (Race to space starting in the 50's).
Those are all the grades I can think of, and the 4th one is in parenthesis. Did I miss anything? Depending on where you start looking at it these are just different grades of a shipload of years; many many administrations, there's a pattern and Curb Hucker probably saw just like this (and like me). Have you come to any other conclussion?
Curb Hucker put it out simply. Although, how the system works, and is worked, isn't anything simple. Puppet is a very simplified and figurative word, and can probably only with some right be put on GWB. Although maybe even GWB had one single thought of his self, in these 8 years, that he drove against his advisors will. Maybe.
Conspiracies, predetermening stuff.... What we really can see are men of ideology and vision laying out a path; men like Kristol, Fuji(guy), and their proffessor (forgot his name too..), etc. So in that sence, there are some people predetermening stuff.
As for conspiracies, we have men and families of wealth who do stuff like own the Federal Reserve. We don't know who they are. They don't want to be known, nor their wishes, wants and plans. It doesn't have to be more complicated than that.
Both these two groups of people exist and can and do to some extent wheel some power even on a POTUS. Total puppet? No.
Good man. But I do find you hard to do with some times, like that you're overly protective of your country.
Well, like you said, you see something there, and I took your word for it and found it interesting enough to want to know more.
You mean the gunboat diplomacy in China (maybe other places too)?
Yeah, they follow the same pattern as the Israelis refuse to comment what types of weapons have been used etc. That way it will be forgotten quicker and later it can be waived off as rumors and accusations.
Philippines also, and we had a lot of investments in tin, rubber, etc in a lot of other countries.
Naturally, how could I forget...
Funny thing is that when you mentioned East Asian economic and military imperialism in your previous post, the memory that first came to me of this was from an old Hollywood movie, probably 1940's-50's, in black and white that was about a sailor that got caught up in troubles in the quaters of Shanghai (I belive it was).
It is good to watch these old Hollywood movies (and not forgetting 1960's-70's cowboy movies) to see what type of mentality that was typical among US Americans, and to see how the propaganda of yesterday has evolved into todays.

Please explain.
Like reading Ridemonkey for bike info?
You still find "that car is red", or has it turned into bundle brown?
Bring on the 'Shovels Full O' Cash' or Embryonic Stem Cell Treatments Coming to a Hospital Near You?
The FDA just approved a trial on an embryonic stem cell treatment for spinal injuries. The treatment is derived from one of the lines approved in the Bush decision on 2001. Interesting, b/c the company, Geron, says that the federal funding ban "devastated the field." Seems clear that the federal ban forced researchers out of the country and into other areas: non embryonic stem cell biology, etc. Now, if congress or the prez overturns the ban, I hope we see a resurgence in research in the field, and ensuing investment:
