Puts the flake in snowflake

I came close to putting my fist through several glowing boxes yesterday because of bitch boy Bush and his sickening base-pandering veto bullshit. First the computer, when I read that he said 'these boys and girls deserve to live,' referring to... clumps of cells... oh god... and then later, watching Keith, when they actually showed those freaky ass children of the snow corn and 1) Bush said we mustn't take innocent human life--okay, what does this even mean?? is the logical point I'm missing, that those of us who've already been born aren't innocent because of, like, original sin? like all those people we're killing everywhere? not innocent? no?--then 2) Sam Brownback Mountain did this unbelievably obnoxious presentation, complete with visual aids, on the children of the snow corn and how they don't want their embryonic brothers and sisters to die. This is the same logic by which every time a woman has a miscarriage, even when it's so early on that she didn't even know she was pregnant, which by the way happens all the time (look it up), we should all grieve the loss. Which is a nice thought and all, but completely ridiculous, especially given the overwhelming scientific incentive of the damn stem cell research. I'd bet money that if Bush was asked to explain the miracle of life he'd get some part of it totally wrong, like it'd still somehow involve a stork.
