The MSM is not really interested in good information. They want things that contribute to the bottom line. It is not in their interrest to come down on one or the other side of a debate, but rather it is their job to ensure that the debate continues and that dumb things like creationism are given the same weight as evolution. The problem is, that the scientific community uses words in different ways than the lay person. When we hear "Theory" we equate it with one man's notion which in this anti-intellectual society is torn down to the same level as the the opinion of the bank teller, both are equal. The scientific community doesn't get it. Otherwise they would be using the term "Indisputable Fact of Evolution" rather than the "Theory of Evolution". "And the second question: What can our current administration learn from the approach of the British government?" This shows a total disregard for the fact that the current administration wants to learn. It doesn't. Not from you, nor the researchers nor from the British government. There is going to be no debate here like there was there. We are a nation divided, and we don't debate anymore. Until this fascist regime is eliminated, that is, the administration, and their neocon cronies in congress, and the Bush Democrats in charge of both houses, and until a progressive government is installed at a liberal outcry with massive and repeated demonstrations across the country on a scale never seen, then you can forget about any real action on any real debate. Stem cell research is fine, but lets face it, you are working in the fear of nazi germany right now whether you know it, or like it, or not.
