Dangerous Viewpoint

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich committed $10 million in tax dollars to stem cell research via executive oder following the defeat bills establishing such a program during the legislative session. I won't get into the stem cell debate here, but I will raise the issue of Blagojevich's response to critics.

"It's the right thing to do, and however you get there is immaterial."

I hope that scares the hell out of you.

In a constitutional system, the means are as important as the ends.

Your goal may be noble, sir -- though I disagree with it -- but your method for achieving that goal is wrong.

2 T Zhon, with almost intelligent come back lines like that it's amazing that you are able to contain yourself in public forum. You must break yourself up with important wisdom. I almost stepped in it, that was close.

The issue is that the public has stated that money was not supposed to be spent for stem cell work. The end does not justify the means. Thank you for putting the spot light on those who think they are above the rest of us.

3 Such an erudite comment -- but a conservative on a liberal site making substantive comments is subject ot vile personal abuse and labelled a troll.

Did you leave your bridge unattended, T Zhon?
