...I ask you, which is worse?

The American left won't let agri-firms develop biotech products that could save millions of lives in the developing world because it upsets their delicate notions of what's "natural" (never mind how many of the world's poor have succumbed to malaria because of the green left's objections to DDT).

or,

The American right is ready to oppose distribution of a cancer vaccine to the developing (and developed, for that matter) world because it might lead to marginal increases in premarital sex (never mind how many of the world's poor have succumbed to AIDS because of the relious right's objections to condom distribution).

The answer is that they're two sides of the same coin....
