Well it happened.
While i haven't blogged a lot in the last year or four, I do still pay attention to the news. One of the things I thought I'd have to wait years to have happen actually did today. I was both shocked, and gladdened respectively by the action and the reasoning. Our Socialist-In-Chief listed the prior Paterfamilias's ban on embryonic stem cell research. This is good news not simply for the sake of all the research that was drawing American scientists out of the country to do research, but because of why. His Communalness stated this was done for to keep politics out of science. Who knows, maybe next we'll have schools teaching effective sex education classes that don't have to spend their time preaching abstinence only. Maybe we'll even get Kansas to stop insisting that Intelligent Design deserves a place on the same syllabus as evolution and other science.
