banned the practice altogether, but that is not what actually happened.


Get your head out of . . . the sand and try to understand the damage the
Bush administration's intellectually dishonest, ideologically-driven
policies are having on U.S. science and technology and, consequently,
the longterm well-being of the country.

George W. Bush's INCOMPETENCE is endangering the future of the U.S.

Read the letter, endorsing John Kerry, from 48 Nobel prize winners in
various scientific diciplines:

http://www.scientistsandengineersfor...obelletter.php

Excerpt:

"The prosperity, health, environment, and security of Americans depend
on Presidential leadership to sustain our vibrant science and
technology; to encourage education at home and attract talented
scientists and engineers from abroad; and to nurture a business
environment that transforms new knowledge into new opportunities for
creating quality jobs and reaching shared goals.

"President Bush and his administration are compromising our future on
each of these counts. By reducing funding for scientific research, they
are undermining the foundation of America's future. By setting
unwarranted restrictions on stem cell research, they are impeding
medical advances. By employing inappropriate immigration practices, they
are turning critical scientific talent away from our shores. And by
ignoring scientific consensus on critical issues such as global warming,
they are threatening the earth's future. Unlike previous
administrations, Republican and Democratic alike, the Bush
administration has ignored unbiased scientific advice in the
policy-making that is so important to our collective welfare."
