educate yourself on two

Tomorrow is election day. I mentioned Amendment 2 in a previous entry and realize many out-of-staters may not know the background. In fact, many in-staters may not know the background.

Amendment 2 is also known as the stem cell initiative. We've all seen the commercials, Michael J. Fox versus the girl who sold her eggs and is now, possibly, "infertile." Go here for the complete text of Amendment 2.

There's an easily digestible exhibit at the St. Louis Science Center on stem cells. Its purpose is not political but educational. If you cannot make it there by tomorrow, visit a quick gallery of photos I put together from the exhibit to learn the basics of stem cells.

I'll supply the quote of the day, which I heard from Wayne:

"I sit here on election day and watch the newsroom order pizza because they are going to be working late and on deadline. Then I watch everyone pat each other on the back for barely making deadline. All I can do is laugh, because in sports, every day is election day."
