Stem Cell Research

I can’t wait until elections are over. I’m sick of hearing people debate about stem-cell research. Everytime I turn on the television set, I see a microphone in front of a fast-food eatin’, NASCAR watchin’, God fearin’, Milwalkee’s Best drinkin’ country bumpkin saying, “I’m votin’ for Governor Allen because he supports our troops, he don’t believe in the gays, and he damn sure ain’t goin’ to vote for stem cell research.”

Ever since I first heard of about this issue, I have been 1,000 percent for stem cell research.
What pisses me off the most about this issue is that I don’t really know what stem cell research actually is. I’ve based my entire opinion on my hatred for the herd-mentality of conservative Christians.

I honestly have zero knowledge of stem cell research. Mind you, this coming from a guy who read Guns, Germs, and Steel, The History of Salt, The History of Coal, The Short History of Nearly Everything, and The History of Cod back to back. My brain is always thirsty for useless facts about anything.

But somehow these Jeff Gordon jacket wearin’ rednecks, know more about the subject than I do.

So my question is: Who’s dumber?
