I Guess this is what they call the "Cultural Divide".

Sometimes I wonder what exactly makes me a Democrat. Is is because I'm a minority and that's just what we do. Is it because since I was 14 some of my closest friends have been homosexual and I feel the need to quote/unquote "represent" for the fag-hags. Or is it because Democrats are generally more fun (you know-with the loose morals and all). Well as I was watching The Daily Show yesterday, I figured it out: I just don't get them. (them referring to many republicans)

Every single part of the Republican ideology seems ludicrous to me. To put it simply I find their logic to be both astounding and horrifying. Especially when it comes to the topic of the hour: Embyonic Stem Cell Research. I agree with Ronald Bailey, that in in forthcoming years the President's recent veto will seem ludicrous.

Bush claims he’s blocking stem cell research because each embryo "is a unique human life with inherent dignity and matchless value." If that were true, we would constantly be in the midst of a holocaust. John Opitz, a professor of pediatrics, human genetics, and obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Utah, testified before the President’s Council on Bioethics that millions of embryos—between 60 percent and 80 percent of all naturally conceived embryos—are simply flushed out in women’s normal menstrual flows unnoticed. This is not miscarriage we're talking about. The women and their husbands or partners never even know that conception has taken place. What are we to think about the fact that Nature (and for believers, Nature’s God) profligately creates and destroys human embryos?...Of course, culturally we do not mourn the deaths of these millions of embryos as we would the death of a child—and reasonably so, because we do in fact know that these embryos are not people. Similarly, 3- to 5-day old frozen embryos leftover from in vitro fertilization attempts are not people either. It is true that every person was once an embryo, but not all—in fact, most embryos do not become people.

To me, this all makes perfect sense. Completely sound and logical. But maybe it's just me.
