I DON'T WANT TO STEP IN THAT HORSE MANURE

So, how's that Socialism treating y'all? My only question is what I'm going to do with that extra $13 a week ($10 after taxes. You did know we're getting taxed on that money as income, right?) So in the end that $1000 we were all supposed to get in that welfare check is actually about $520 per year. Hmmm, I may be doing fuzzy math but that seems like alot less than a cool thousand.

Oh, and I can't wait until baldness is cured thru embryonic stem cell research. Oh, you thought it was going to cure cancer or make the Christopher Reeves in the world walk? No no my friends. Embryonic stem cell research has been going on for 25 years now with the only results being that any animals involved grow tumors the size of grapefruits filled with hair, nails, and teeth. ESCR has discovered nothing of use or value hence the reason why the private sector doesn't want to get involved. What's that, you thought that type of stem cell research was banned by George W? If you know anything about this farce of science and the policy's surrounding it it's that GW only banned FEDERAL MONEY going to fund research. Private researchers can do whatever they want, only they had to raise private funds. And if you know anything about Capitalism (the old type like back in 2003, not the pseudo-type we have now) anything that has any shot of making money is eaten up by private donors. That's why adult stem cell research is filled with people fighting over the multitude of discovers that have come from that research: because owning the patents to the cures for diseases is BIG money. Adult stem cells have made strides in just about every field of medicine. Embryonic stem cell has enhanced the ability to get a tumor filled with nails, teeth, and hair. So, with this new freedom and unlimited funding expect the scientists to work on something that may actually be successful and get them money, things like the cure for baldness or the next weight loss gimmick. Because there are no cures to be found here. If there were, 25 years would've resulted in something worthwhile. California has been funding embryonic stem cell research (and only that type, not one dime can go for adult stem cell research) for 5 years now to the tune of millions of dollars a year until the day California finally falls off the continent. (Prop 71 was a constitutional change that guaranteed the money no matter what and absolutely no oversight or proof of any results needed). And yet nothing. Michael J Fox promised us a cure if Prop 71 passed. I have terrible acid reflux. Where's my cure?

One last note that ties these two thoughts together: California has been practicing Socialism for years now and they keep funding unnecessary, heart string, knee jerk pet projects. And look at them now. Do you really think it's a good idea to follow in the footsteps of California, in any way, shape, or form? Sorry, it's like following the horse drawn carriage in a parade: Do Anything to Avoid the Horse Shit. That's my motto.
