Everyone who has ever read my posts knows that I am never sarcastic and I am actually religious and spiritual, hence my user name, "Agios", which is Greek for "Saint". But President Bush's hipocritical policy has really disapointed me. We have lost 6-years of valuable research! For what!! Protecting what!! I could argue that President Bush's policy isn't protecting HESC's, since they are, as we all know, being destroyed anyways, but, in fact, his policy is protecting the multitude of diseases that are rampant.

Think about this...terrorist killed several thousand Americans and now our government is spending billions of dollars fighting a war on terrorism. Meanwhile, how many Americans have diseases killed? How many more Americans will die from diseases in this year alone? Why the huge dispraportionate spending?

Why the veto?

Is the average American life threatened more by disease or by terrorism?

Why isn't our government doing more to protect us from the real terror in our lives...DISEASE.

Hopefully as more people realize this and understand the significance of combating diseases and what a truly profound impact government investment and policy could have things will change.

I am not saying stop the war on terror...I am saying fight the war on disease with more government funding and support for HESC research!
