[Rhodes22-list] stan's stem cell piece for Stevee

[stan]

thanks Steve,

I know you are passionate, bright and tall,  so am sure you will take the 
following, from one misguided soul to another, in stride.

 continuing from a response to Brad ... "So we will agree to disagree on 
that one and turn to another.

How about faith influencing the government's stand on the stem cell debate 
as to where life starts.  The Bush side now has it down to when two cells, 
who have not yet decided if they want to be male, female or, heaven forbid, 
gay, are considered human, with all the rights of humans (except marriage 
for those two queer cells) due them.

This kind of pushing the faith envelope cannot be allowed to stand.  The 
next step is to tell us that sperm are live (which indeed they are) and 
outlaw our wasting them.  That ought to be reason enough for all real he men 
(as opposed to Steve's girlymen labeling) and she women, to bail out on this 
administration.

As I stated starting this latest round, we are not going to change any 
votes - just want to be able to say I told you so when men join women as a 
class being told what they can do with their body.  Admittedly the whole 
country is slowly going nuts under this administration's faith based 
initiatives.  But once this pushing of the direction when life starts 
includes alive and healthy sperm, the rate of our going nuts will escalate 
exponentially.  Well, there goes the thinking that the earth would end with 
the big bang.  We are going to vote it over.
