The idea of creating cloned embryos to provide genetically matched replacement cells for all patients with diabetes and other degenerative diseases would require millions of donated human eggs in the UK alone. That is not a likely prospect. There are also serious unanswered safety concerns as well as some widespread ethical objections.

Second, I was expressing my frustration at the lack of initiatives in energy policy - given the fact that energy plays such a key role in our international policy decision making schema.

While I doubt that actually qualifies as circular logic, it proves that our SAT tests are totally unfair to minorities, immigrants, and the educationally disenfranchized voters who cant quite find an open poll before 7pm. In Atlanta Georgia, they make it exceeding difficult for black and hispanic voters to actually get to the polls physically. Every obstacle, from closing at 7pm, to chosing the only poll locations that are not public transporation accessible, to the sparce distribution of polls, not to mention the homeless guys trying to scalp hanging chads. When I voted in '04, the poll worker fumbled with electronic key slots through which he succeded in passing my voting card's magnet thingie. He took several tries till he was satisfied that my obvious liberal demeanor would be canceled out by his polarizing peter principles. Now I'm mad. Thanks.

I love it when political and/or journalistic hacks decry what people can "get away with" on the internet. It may be 90% bullshit but at least it's democratic bullshit, and the closest to an equal right to reply forum that any media has yet provided. Concise and to the point Jim.
