More Accusations of Scientific Abuse by the Bush Administration

Posted by michael on Tuesday July 13, 2004 @06:16AM from the piling-on dept.

Saeed al-Sahaf writes "Last week, the Union of Concerned Scientists released new evidence that the Bush Administration continues to suppress and distort scientific knowledge and undermine scientific advisory panels. Of course we're not talking about such subjective issues like stem cell research which Bush objects to on religious grounds. Here we are talking about money. The cases discussed in this story detail incidents of suppression and distortion of scientific knowledge on issues ranging from mountaintop removal strip mining to endangered species such as wild Salmon in the Pacific Northwest."

Practicing magic is generally considered to be anti-scient[sic].

But that's only because false premises can give true conclusions...

Religions are Just Stupid. All of them.

Belief should be transient, fleeting, dispelled by the next experiment. Faith is the ultimate sin. Be a scientist!
