The first issue is seen as a technical issue, while the others are seen as 

value issues.

------------------------

Interest rate policy: Seen as a brain cortex issue (facts/rational - attempt 

to be logic is "needed" for decision).



Stem cell research: Seen as brain stem (!) issue (emotions - fear & panic 

part of brain is "needed" for decision).



The only cross-talk I can think of is New York Stocking Exchange on Broadway 

(Manhattan) - Fed may screw up the world economy if they take the wrong 

building.



My most personal reflections only,
