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.

I was getting tired of poking the mime with a stick. His big orange letters were getting so big Cbid was going to break.
