Thank you religious right, ever so much, for the subversion of American science.

Stem Cell Researchers Choose Singapore Sun Nov 20, 8:05 PM ET
STANFORD, Calif. - Two government biologists heavily recruited by Stanford University have decided to work in Singapore instead, saying they will face fewer restrictions on stem cell research overseas.
Neal Copeland and Nancy Jenkins, geneticists for the National Cancer Institute in Frederick, Md., said they were concerned about delays in the allocation of $3 billion set aside by a California ballot measure approved in 2004.
"If there were any way we could come to Stanford, we would do this in a heartbeat," the married couple wrote in an e-mail to the San Jose Mercury News.
Copeland and Jenkins are famous for discovering a way to accelerate the identification of cancer-causing genes in mice.
The brain drain is well underway now, and I'm sure that you are celebrating your success as it goes through the pipes to be spilled into the welcoming arms waiting on other shores.
Thank you Jerry Falwell, you corpulent carbunkle in the ass-crack of humanity; thank you so very fucking much, James Dobson, Pat Robertson, Richard Land, and all the rest of you putrescent bags of dog's-offal who put your ambitions over and above the well-being and prosperity of the population of this country. You have done amazingly well at inventing a new form of treason.
And thank you especally, George W. Bush, you microcephalic pustule, for sucking up to these vermin and vigorously supporting their treason along with your own. Your ship is sinking into the sewage that you have floated it upon, and I feverently pray to god or demon, if either such might exist, that the rats aboard it will go down with it, each and every one to the last, demogogic gasbag.

Your eloquence is fenomenal as always. 
You should play some Counter Strike, Urban Dead, and Doom to wind down. If you don't find an outlet for all that steam, you'll get an anurism. We don't want you ending up like Derek.
I understand your anger, however, being on the recieving end of the brain drain...

| Time Magazine's cover story today is of Darwin. Of note, he is buried with honors in Westminster Abby and revered by the British. As opposed to being vilified here by half the population. I can't figure out how this country got so overrun with religious followers. |

No idea.
And filthy, this exodus has been underway for a while now. It started with the failure to retain foreign students, moved to the repatriation of many prominent Chinese scientists (China is pumping alot of money into their science programs), and has progressed to what SIngapore is doing. They have a new, and very large and well funded, bioscience research program. They offer western scientists the opportunity to work in an environment not encumbered by the insane religious right, and they offer an equal share of patent rights with scientists. That is unheard of anywhere in the west.
Singapore has attracted minds like the guy who created Dolly the cloned sheep, and some very prominent researchers working on a cure for diabetes. It has been going on for quite a while now. The trend will only continue as long as the US continues to let assholes like the ones you mentioned dictate public policy and politicians continue to suck up to them for votes.
Honestly, why would anyone choose to work in the US surounded by drooling morons who deny evolution and think stem cell research is the equivilent to murder, when a much more scientifically friendly enviroment is available?
The US needs some sweeping changes to the political climate, very soon, or we will lose one of the major foundations of our prosperity.

I know, Dude, I know.....
I hope every one of the sanctimonious, rat-begotten morceaux de merde recieves a spinal cord injury, or, failing that, spends the last years of their worthless, blood-sucking lives as incontenent, slobbering -- 'objects' is not the word I'm looking for, but it'll suffice -- a'la Ronald Reagan. Or both. Yes, both would be apt; a so-well deserved punishment that they could only avoid by their departure from this existance.
It makes one wish that there really was an afterlife that rewarded a soul according to the deeds performed during life.
It is said that God gives you the face you are born with but the face that you die with is your own creation. They become more repulsive with each passing day...
