  1. Re:Jobs on U.S. Continues Opposition to Kyoto Environmental Treaty · · Score: 1

    I heartily concur, couldn't have said it better myself. To some people, morals only apply to abortion and gay marriage.

  2. Science and Politics on Scientists Challenge U.S. on Scientific Distortions · · Score: 1
    If you ever read Steven Hawkings "A Brief History of Time" you are probably familiar with the "Turtles all the way down" story. I took the liberty of adapting it to this story. I call it:

    Liberals, all the way down

    A well-known group of scientists (some say it was The Union of Concerned Scientists) once made a public announcement on Scientific Integrity in Policymaking. They accused a presidential administration of distorting and suppressing findings that contradict administration policies, stacking panels with like-minded and underqualified scientists with ties to industry, and eliminating some advisory committees altogether. After the announcement, the administration's staunchest supporters said: "What you have told us is rubbish. The announcement is really a liberal attack on our beloved administration for political reasons." One of the scientists gave a superior smile before replying, "Do you dispute the evidence we present, or just the conclusions?" "You're very clever, Mr. Scientist, very clever," they said. "But it makes no difference at all, it's liberals all the way down."
