Now, I would not ordinarily inflict this kind of nastiness on my readers at such an early hour, but let’s get serious here: This kind of new age hocus-pocus bullshit is the kind of crap you expect out of Hollywood and specifically out of scientologists. It may seem innocuous, if more than a bit psycho, but it has a specific agenda.

Huge numbers of viable stem cells can be harvested from a placenta and the umbilicus. Making embryonic stem cell research (one of the left’s favorite justifications for abortion, as ignorant as that is)totally useless. But, if the likes of Thom can convince America that “placentas are to be eaten, not used in medical experiments” then the embryonic stem cell bullshit can stand.

It sounds crazy to me too, but let’s look hard at smoking, for instance. All the claims of secondhand smoke dangers are based on junk science, and yet more and more municipalities are enacting blanket smoking bans. And a kid recently sued McDonalds for making him fat. This bullshit floats in this country, because the whackos go out and fight to get it, while normal people are at work.

Just my two cents. You may now return to your regularly scheduled breakfast. If you can.
