I spent the day in waiting rooms in Boston.
Today's Boston Herald welcomed me with a front page story about Maines dirty river and my incompetent X-boss who was cutting deals with the paper company that's dirtying the river.
Why do Bostonian's care about Maine's housekeeping?
Next I picked up Neurobiology Monthly. Nice lil story about stem cell research. Seems it's looking especially promising for combatting Parkinson's disease. Of course US with it's research restrictions is really falling behind in the game.
I haven't checked but if I recall Bush had allowed research on stem cell lines that were already developed but that was about it for humans.
Are our laws too strict? Should the government be controlling stem cell research? Should we be cloning human cells, tissues, organs, organisms if it can cure disease?
Then we went for dinner at a chinese place. Today's fortune:
He who hurries can not walk with dignity.

Sometimes even us wee widdle states need some love.
Boston has to care about that river, since so many Bostonians with money go white water rafting in it.
As soon as I read this thread I had this song playing through my head. Luckily, I really like this song =)
I'm gonna tell you a story
I'm gonna tell you about my town
I'm gonna tell you a big bad story, baby
Aww, it's all about my town
Yeah, down by the river
Down by the banks of the river Charles (aw, that's what's happenin' baby)
That's where you'll find me
Along with lovers, fuggers, and thieves (aw, but they're cool people)
Well I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, you're the Number One place)
Frustrated women (I mean they're frustrated)
Have to be in by twelve o'clock (oh, that's a shame)
But I'm wishin' and a-hopin, oh
That just once those doors weren't locked (I like to save time for my baby to walk around)
Well I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, yeah)
Because I love that dirty water
Oh, oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, yeah)
Well, I love that dirty water (I love it, baby)
I love that dirty water (I love Baw-stun)
I love that dirty water (Have you heard about the Strangler?)
I love that dirty water (I'm the man, I'm the man)
I love that dirty water (Owww!)
I love that dirty water (Come on, come on) [fade]
ps - what's a fugger? and "you" is not an answer.

Maine is like Massachusetts red headed step child. We pretend we were never a part of the same state, but every once in awhile our familial instincts kick in and we want to see how you're doing

There is some nice rafting on this river though.

If a law was not strict, it would be flawed.
Should the government be controlling stem cell research?
Not based on religious assumption, like it apparently is now. If they want to restrict such things because they think that such "potential lives" have a SOUL, then I challenge them to prove that in a court of law.
Should we be cloning human cells, tissues, organs, organisms if it can cure disease?
Yes
(although a part of me says let nature take it's course.... but that would mean no medicine of any kind..... which I wonder how bad our immune systems are botched up after 100 years of polluting it with drugs that we assume are good for us...)

After having an anaphalactic episode in my childhood from a lone aspirin and being identified as allergic to things like sulfa and penicillin early on, I have basically never taken anything for pain or illness but tylenol. Now it does essentially nothing for pain anymore, but I haven't been sick in so long I can't recall it, excluding hangovers.
