Good point Pedruggers. That's how we should know Pedo is a doctor, a pound of cure is a hell of a lot better than an ounce of prevention.

Let leftists handle your security. For America, for instance, they recommedn doing away with the missile defense program and surrendering in Iraq. But lest you think thats their whole agenda, they would invade Pakistan to find OBL. BTW, you are testing because you don't know if everything will work right. I know. Progressives would have no need for R & D, because if it didn't work very first time, they wouldn't do it. Cure for polio? Never happen under progressives. Stealth bomber? Same answer.

that Senator Brownback has suggested a “Manhattan Project” type approach to curing cancer,

It is my belief that there will never be a cure for cancer found, or at the very least, released to the public. There is way too much money involved in cancer research.
