A long read, I only expect a couple of you to actually have the capability to read past the first page.

I'm sure some of you will just post something stupid after reading the title.

Either way, an interesting article, goes into the history of the current anti-science movement as well as what the author considers to be a few factors in it's current rise. Additionally, it discusses the impact that an inability to identify "fact" has on policy and democracy.

Speaking of...
2 minutes. I think it's a safe assumption that you didn't get past the first sentence before posting your opinion.

You are correct.

It's like EVERYTHING you post....touchy feely crap.

Nevermind actual facts.

It doesn't matter with the Georgetown rubby crowd...as long as it's touchy feely.

No...you posted another stupid thread for everyone to poop on.

Then you proved without a shadow of doubt that when I ring the bell (post on one of your threads!) you respond (despite telling the community I'm on some Top Secret "ignore" function button thingy Trish made just for you!)...then you went out and queered up your thread with manlove...Must be in the Georgetown water.
