But even if she meant to say stem cell research, it's still BS. winter is coming Mar 2016 #11

Yup. uppityperson Mar 2016 #12

She wasn't confused Arazi Mar 2016 #33

I hadn't read her whole statement. That is very odd and wrong uppityperson Mar 2016 #41

No one was afraid to talk about stem cell research and Alzheimer's seattleite Mar 2016 #35

Welcome to DU! Arazi Mar 2016 #44

It looks like McDonalds got their inspiration from Cowboy Bob Blus4u Mar 2016 #76

And Bette Davis said ... ebayfool Mar 2016 #61

That's my question. longship Mar 2016 #9

It's so dumb that I don't even get how it could happen CoffeeCat Mar 2016 #31

Me, neither. For god's sake, the dead woman was a Republican who Nay Mar 2016 #73

Yes it was VERY stupid ibegurpard Mar 2016 #14

I still can't believe she said it. Bluenorthwest Mar 2016 #16

Well let's hear her statement on Iran Contra Ichingcarpenter Mar 2016 #19

Nancy Reagan didn't do anything that didn't directly benefit Nancy Reagan nichomachus Mar 2016 #21

Hence the reason why Chitown Kev Mar 2016 #22

Except... Hillary wasn't "at" the funeral... she was mic'd and talking with Andrea Mitchell. cherokeeprogressive Mar 2016 #25

Though I know you support her and I don't, I appreciate your post. closeupready Mar 2016 #26

Me 2 - I'm remembering my two friends. 840high Mar 2016 #29

Me, too. artislife Mar 2016 #30

I did not vote for Hillary Clinton in the primary Chitown Kev Mar 2016 #49

You're actually trying to spin "just say no" as some societal good? Give me a fucking break. Warren DeMontague Mar 2016 #32

I am absolutely on the verge of saying something that will get me banned Aerows Mar 2016 #37

Its simply astounding. Warren DeMontague Mar 2016 #38

I'm so pissed, I have Aerows Mar 2016 #39

. Major Hogwash Mar 2016 #58

We don't agree very often Aerows Mar 2016 #60

Wow... Chitown Kev Mar 2016 #48

Do you really think addicts can "just say no?" Arazi Mar 2016 #52

Yes...that would include some of the people that I did drugs with Chitown Kev Mar 2016 #63

Stop the war on drugs. It's what Sanders says and I believe him Arazi Mar 2016 #65

I never said that JSN...the campaign works Chitown Kev Mar 2016 #67

DUIs and these other crimes- I presume you mean robbery, etc- well again, those are crimes. Warren DeMontague Mar 2016 #70

I think it's a gross oversimplification to make statements like that. Warren DeMontague Mar 2016 #69

Actually, "Just Say No" was designed for kids Chitown Kev Mar 2016 #88

I believe it is worth noting that, the axiomatic assertions of some 12 steppers to the contrary Warren DeMontague Mar 2016 #89

Well, hence the "archetype" of sorts Chitown Kev Mar 2016 #90

My general point is that these questions are better handled intelligently, thoughtfully and honestly Warren DeMontague Mar 2016 #91

1) Kids pretty much smell bullshit Chitown Kev Mar 2016 #92

Maybe, or maybe we as a species have outgrown certain concepts Warren DeMontague Mar 2016 #93

To me... Chitown Kev Mar 2016 #64

Well, you know I've said 100 times that none of these people running have inspired me Number23 Mar 2016 #66
