One of the best interviews so far I think. Repeat listening required!

1 in 9 people in the US live in California, a fact that is often overlooked as politicians pander to the tiny but influential states in the rest of the country. Whenever my state takes action counter the policy of the Federal government (fuel efficiency standards, health care reform, marijuana reform- just to list what happened THIS week), I have hope for the whole country. California is the spearhead of progress in the United States, and this stem cell funding is an outgrowth of that.

I get the feeling that although some of the questions seem silly to us (err...maybe just me), they are really being used by Sam Harris as a control, or baseline, or somthing cool and scientific like that. I filled out a survey, and do hope that the findings are published on this website.

This seems about right. Kudos to the ADL.
