Veith at World Mag is asking some good questions about all the recent charges of theocracy that certain liberal pundits been throwing around.

But what gains have Christians made that leads secularists to think a theocracy is imminent? That Christians are crusading against abortion and homosexuality, though with hardly any success? A few decades ago, when abortion was against the law and homosexuality was assumed by all sides to be immoral, was that a theocracy?


Why are embryonic stem cell researchers in need of public funds? Via Jill Stanek the Motley Fool tells us,

Sure, federal support may increase the chances that embryonic stem cells will yield novel treatments. But the path to success is still likely to be peppered with setbacks and failures over a period of years and at a cost of millions, if not billions, of dollars. Federal investment is not a magic wand that will produce cures overnight.....

Despite the promise suggested by early studies, embryonic stem cell research remains highly speculative. More concrete results, not the amount of cash being poured into research, are the best basis for investing decisions.


Meanwhile, some in Egypt are debating embryonic stem cell research.
