You are correct to be wary of subsidizing religion, however, calling a limited subsidy in stem cell research "stifled" is a mischaracterisation. We need to stop corporate subsidies in this country not add more companies to the welfare rolls. You do understand that the reason the religous right is comfortable looking for government handouts is that government subsidizes every damn thing in this country? sorry, spent an evening with hardcore Dems biting my tongue, remembering why neither party should ever have a free hand
