Hello, folks, Ray, thanks for the invitation. "....come on, his constituents don't take him seriously, why should you?" My answer: because idiots vote. Misinformation is one of the chief tools in any political contest. If enough people are ill-informed, they will cause wrong-headed bills to bubble up to the top of public discourse, like this poor, misguided buffoon in Oklahoma has done. It's curious that this legislator has, himself, bubbled to the top of Okla politics. It's unfortunate that medical research has to sit on its hands while these 'chicken-licken's' slowly grasp what is actually happening. I think the best prophylactic for misguided ideas is a good dousing with correct information and up-to-date discussion focusing on reality, the scientific method, and the good of the greater public, tenets of public discourse back when I was attending public schools.

Dave thank you for bringing this up. I assume you are someone who has concerns about the ESC issue and I would like to know what they are. I think it is past time we had an open discussion re this issue., especially since it looks like ESCS are responsible for restoring sight to two women. And now, more than ever, the forces of opposition on the state level are mixing abortion with IVF, contraception and embryonic stem cell research. Millions of lives depend upon the outcome of this struggle and I don't mean aborted fetuses. -----Original Message----- From: David McMurray Sent: Saturday, January 28, 2012 12:20 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: ESC Mania! Using this nut to throw a blanket over anyone who has concerns about the stem cell issue is disingenuous, to say the least....come on, his constituents don't take him seriously, why should you?
