First Veto

I'm imagining a great irony where Junior or his dad Senior or his mom, Grandma Barbie, become ill with cancer or with Alzheimer's. I'm imagining him praying to God and wishing there was somethig that could be done, a magic cure or treatment. And I wonder if he'll look back at his decision yesterday to veto funding for stem cell research with any regret. Will he see that he set back good science for politics? Will he see that his decision impacted the health and welfare of all of us? Unfortunately, I don't think his understanding of his legacy runs that deep.

Small kudos to Arnie for seeing this differently. This is our moral obligation.
