Micheal J. Fox and Gay Iowa

The episode on The Daily Show that was broadcasted on April 6, 2009, was rather interesting yet again. It opens up with Jon Stewart talking about one of the more baffling news breaks in the media world; Iowa rejecting a ban on gay marriage within their State Constituion.

It is hilariously portrayed with its representation of the Gay Parade in Iowa, consisting of a farmer riding a tractor through a dirt road while local residences watch the parade unfolding.

Also, from the last blog, the show transitions into, "The Last Thing We Need," having Stewart elaborate on North Korea's missile launch.

Let's jump to the special guest, Michael J. Fox. One of the main reason's why I respect Fox is because he knew what he was advocating and did it in a fair way. He supported politicians and endorsed those politicians who found that Stem Cell Research was a very important tool in creating a cure for Parkinson's Disease, and not to mention other illnesses.

I'll take a minute to reflect on the way I feel about people who are against Stem Cell Research; It's like the diabetics in PETA who are against lab testing on animals. Sure, I feel horrible to those animals, but I feel that they are being misrepresentated. It's all a pile of hypocrisy.

Stem cells are those which the medical deems unusable. They are virtually dead already due to the fact that the hospital throws them away. So, honestly, I do not see why we shouldn't use them if they are going to benefit those who are life-strictened with diseases.


Then, to add on to those ignorant to the others who are struggling with diseases, there is no sign of sympathy. It's repulsive to me... and I know to those who have read my other blogs (which I'm sure is everyone in the class...shyea right), the whole Fox v. Limbaugh issue is pretty redundant, but you have to realize who's out there and how to they deal with issues. Limbaugh does not show any sign of sympathy and he sucks at life.

But, without him voicing his own opinion, that would defeat the whole process of freedom of speech. So, you would actually have to look on both sides of the story.
I'm assuming that the only thing that good and intelligent Americans can do is let ignorant people be ignorant and repulsive; it's the democratic way!
