Sure, if no research is supported by taxes fine, all for it.
That is not the case, so is OT for this conversation.
Religion has no place in government, ever.

So you support this research because other people got money for their pet projects? How do you propose to reduce the size and scope of government if everyone gets his pet project? It isn't off topic because, according to your link, it is half of the topic and you don't get to decide where the conversation goes despite your desire to paint every question as religion vs. reason.

($)Bush announced no new federal dollars for stem cell research, which supporters say holds the promise of disease cures,(/$) and (+)his order would not allow researchers to do anything they couldn't do under existing restrictions.(/+)

$-my taxes
+-Georgies religion

Keep saying it... that will make it true and Tinkerbell will live.

You make an ironclad argument. I now support your position 100%. All hail, the arbiter of off-topic discourse. From now on all my comments will be PMed to you ahead of time for clearance. Will you be managing all the other threads as well?
