		<description>That&#039;s right.  Tax breaks, loan guarantees and subsidies should be reserved for the oil industry that is, if you haven&#039;t noticed yet, struggling to survive.

We&#039;re gonna produce our way to energy independence with the oil we have right here in this country!

Jeeez.  I&#039;ve worked in the energy industry for twenty-five years and, believe me, we&#039;re more than happy to accept the largesse of taxpayers, but I wonder how in the world they sell this stuff to you folks.</description>

		<description>The question whether the research is &quot;good&quot; or &quot;bad&quot;, the question is whether tax dollars should be spent on R&amp;D when there is plenty of Venture Capital out there.

If this technology had any real hope of being a miracle cure, VCs would be throwing money at it hand over fist - as would the major pharma companies.  Biotech is one of the hottest areas today for venture capital.  Where are the smart people putting their money in this area?

I pesonally think this whole topic is over-hyped.  Like Artificial Intellegence, it is something of a pipe dream.  But it has been sold lock , stock and barrel to the point where California voters okayed billions of dollars in state bonds to finance research in this area - which will cure no one in the near future, if ever - and at the same time voted down a bond for new hospitals, which would help thousands of of people today.</description>
