Restoring Rights and Reason

from The Smirking Chimp:

[The next] president's first act should be to sign a law that reads as follows: 'The federal government of the United States having been illegitimate and illegal since January 20, 2001, all laws, regulations, executive orders, and acts of commission or omission enacted between that infamous day and 12 noon Eastern Standard Time on January 20, 2009 are hereby declared invalid and without effect."

from Slashdot:

Former Intel CEO [Andrew S.] Grove rips on the medical research community, contrasting their lack of progress with the tech industry's juggernaut of breakthroughs over the past half-century or so."

from the original Newsweek article:

On Sunday afternoon, Grove ... unleash[ed] a scathing critique of the nation's biomedical establishment. In a speech at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience, he challenge[d] big pharma companies, many of which haven't had an important new compound approved in ages, and academic researchers who are content with getting NIH grants and publishing research papers with little regard to whether their work leads to something that can alleviate disease, to change their ways."

For an utter stellar crash course on a vast amount of information relavent to Grove's comments, please invest the 88 minutes to watch this entire video, "Social Justice and Stem Cell Research: Who gains? Who loses?", *(requires Real Player)*. In this extraordinary video, none other than Sen. Orrin Hatch is said to be in less opposition to stem cell research than even Sen. Arlen Specter is.
