WHAT A TRICK

WHAT A TRICK NOT TO BE TREATED TO THE TRUTH BY DR. DEAN EDELL ON HIS CALL-IN RADIO SHOW DEALING WITH QUESTIONS RELATING TO HEALTH. NORMALLY, I APPROVE OF HIS DISAPPROVAL OF THE OVERUSE OF DRUGS, ALTERNATIVE MEDICINES, VITAMIN AND HERBAL CURES, WEIGHT LOSS SCHEMES, ETC. BUT TODAY HIS LIBERAL, POLITICAL, RANT AND LIES ABOUT CONSERVATIVES, RUSH LIMBAUGH AND EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS PRETTY MUCH SUNK HIS SHIP FOR ME. I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SURPRISED BECAUSE DR. EDELL EARLIER IN HIS PROGRAM, AS AN CASUAL ASIDE, ADMITTED THAT HE HAD "ALWAYS BEEN A RUNNER." A SELF-ABSORBED RUNNER - EUREKA, AN ELITE, DELUSIONAL, YUPPIE, LIBERAL.

DR. DEAN EDELL'S TRICK WAS TO USE A SIMILE THAT "USING ADULT STEM CELL RESEARCH IS LIKE COLUMBUS TRYING TO DISCOVER AMERICA IN A ROWBOAT."

A SIMILE, TWO DISTINCT THINGS COMPARED USING LIKE OR AS, VALIDATES ITSELF ONLY IF TRUTH EMANATES FROM THE COMPARISON OF THE ENTITIES. BUT ADULT STEM CELL RESEARCH IS NOT AS INSIGNIFICANT AS A ROWBOAT. ON THE CONTRARY, ADULT STEM CELLS FROM BONE MARROW, SKIN AND UMBILICAL CORDS ARE THE ONLY LINES OF RESEARCH THAT PRESENTLY ARE PROVING TO BE EFFECTIVE IN PREVENTING DISEASE. EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS ARE THE POLITICALLY CORRECT CHOICE OF LIBERALS WHO FIND NO MORAL ISSUE WITH USING HUMAN EMBRYOS FOR EXPERIMENTATION. NO POSITIVE DATA EXISTS TO RECOMMEND THEIR USEFULNESS IN CURES. THIS FACT CONTRADICTS WHAT DR. EDELL FIRST POSTULATES, THAT ADULT STEM CELL RESEARCH IS LIKE A "DROP IN THE BUCKET, A "ROWBOAT IN AN OCEAN," USELESS AND INSIGNIFICANT. THIS LIE DOES, HOWEVER, SUPPORT DR. EDELL’S LIBERAL MINDSET. IMPLIED IN HIS SIMILE IS THE NEED FOR EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH AS THE ONLY HOPE. WRONG.

RE-STATED AS A WORKING SIMILE, " EMBRYONIC STEM CELL WORK IS LIKE COLUMBUS TRYING TO DISCOVER AMERICA IN A ROWBOAT WITHOUT OARS."
A POSSIBILITY NOT ON THE HORIZON.
