Yea, though I think the FDA approval is important, you can't just let down the current testing standards.
Wow, good question from the moderator dude.
"I haven't heard either of you say HOW you will cut the deficit."
...oh wait, Senator, how do you figure the recession is over?

while kerry's answer was kind of weak, at least he started to answer it ($2.2B figure is from bush's lackeys, closing loopholes in tax code, + $800M from top-2% tax hike). bush did nothing except attack kerry in his "answer"...Damn True said:
What does welfare reform, have to do with environmental policy?
Uh, no. Payroll is the largest expense in manufacturing, not healthcare.
Any idea what a $5,500 S-Works Epic would cost if Kerry forced Specialized to build it in the US?
I am not aware of any rights usurped from me that I had before 9/11.
I think he was making a joke.Toshi said:plus kerry cited that malpractice insurance + suits only accounts for 1% of health care costs (or was it 1% of the increase? i should know this, oops).
"i own a timber company... that's news to me. want to buy some wood?" idiot.
Bush dosen't own a timber company.
He voted for it.Toshi said:

No right answer for this stem cell thing.
as did 99 of the 100 senators. post-9/11 hysteria was still in high effect, and no one even had time to review it thoroughly, let alone pick it apart.Damn True said:
this is an interesting read (from a thread i posted here earlier) about the atmosphere and events surrounding the patriot act's passage: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&contentId=A1999-2002Oct22¬Found=true
true. it's a morality question. the scientific viewpoint is clearly that embryonic stem cells are irreplaceable. to be more technical, only embryonic stem cells have the ability to differentiate into _all_ cell types ("pluripotent"). other kinds of stem cells are either not pluripotent or they suffer from problems with early cell death (shortened telomeres).Damn True said:
Hmm, I liked both responses to the Justice appointment question.
Bush is making a mistake by not picking out a couple of specific decisions that were mistakes.
.....but, Kerry's rebuttal was a matter of opinion.

I listened to the first 3 questions on the radio as I was driving home today. I actually shut it off because I was so angry at both of them. Good lord, it's starting to look utterly and completely hopeless.

Wait, Kerry is saying he wouldn't cede our authority, yet he said less than an hour ago that we should not go into war without UN approval.
True.
I'm still a little touchy about that subject based on Clinton era rhetoric on the subject.
I honestly don't know Kerry's history on the issue.

The Yankees are leading the Twins 8-1
I wish they would both quit with the soundbytes that have nothing to do with the questions.Toshi said:
I wish Kerry would actually use his 2 minutes explaining the 'flip-flops' in detail, because most of it is bullcrap. I wish he'd quit his lameass 2-second criticisms, do some real analysis, and stop trying to bring everything and anything back around to jobs.
I wish Bush would...well, what's the saying? Wish in one hand, crap in the other? I'll be right back. When I return, you're best off not shaking my hand.

They both had one, probably the network telling them which camera to face.
i've been searching the internets like crazy and still can't find this Mahzurah place.....
The series was won or lost in the late innings of game 2. Everyone knew it.Damn True said:
Rooting for the Sox m'self. If they can break their curse then the Giants can.......someday.
.....but in all likelyhood, the Boston Bruins will win a World Series before the Sox do.

God forbid Vioxx get in from Canada and give US citizens heart attacks...Damn True said:
Oh wait.
Bush's answer on Canadian drugs was the absolute WORST defense of pharmaceutical companies I have ever heard...I wanted to hit him with a stick when he said "BUT THEY'RE NOT SAFE!"
haha i certainly hope so, i was in a discussion with my physical therapist this morning about who would take the vacated Mariners job. i blurted out Gordie Howe's name and he looked at me like i was smoking crack. i actually meant Art Howe of course, but we had fun mentally envisioning old Gordie running out and checking the umpire on a bad call.Damn True said:
But back to the Sox i hope they don't win it, just because i find the whole pained little brother to New York deal funny in Boston. i fear that some of that will disappear when they win a championship.
And unfortunately my gut is telling me it's the Sox year this year. They've got a good balance and they're firing on all cylinders right now too. But it's still just my gut feeling....
Yah you never know if third world nations smuggle terrorists in those prescription bottles.xbluethunderx said:
i thought it was funny when Kerry was stompin around saying he wanted drugs to come from Canada, i knew he was subliminally talking to all the stoners who are licking their chops for some of that BC bud. haha
