Now science is a "liberal conspiracy."

[Kath2]

Like everything else that is real, I guess.

1. Well of course it is

It requires learning and encourages asking questions. Not to mention questioning answers. Sounds like a conspiracy to me.

[Kath2]

2. Right on.

7. Always has been and always will.

Same for art.

3. Better to be a liberal conspiracy than a conservative myth.

redumbliCONs are truly brain dead.

[Zambero]

4. Just how far backwards have we traveled?

To the point of 16th-century cutting edge scientist Galileo being accused of heresy by the vested theocracy, perhaps?

5. The Catholic Church.

Heresy for being right.

8. This country is so frustrating sometimes.

It's a free society (thank goodness!), but we're under the false assumption that everybody should have their opinions treated equally regardless of the subject. It's disillusioning to see, for example, people like Ken Ham treated as a legitimate authority on evolution.

I wouldn't think to go lecture Michio Kaku on string theory, yet that's where we are as a country. Knowledge is currently given no respect. It wouldn't be out of place in the current media to see some raving talking head with a communications degree lecturing Dr. Kaku on why his entire life's work is wrong.

With knowledge treated so poorly (and lightly), why should anybody strive to obtain it? This country favors ignorance and it has to stop.

9. I hate these fucking assholes.

10. You are not alone.

All of the scientists demonstrating today are with you.

11. Where we are headed. Trofin Lysenko, Stalin's scientist.

The ultimate politicization of science.

12. To the ignorant

all education is a liberal conspiracy.

[Kath2]

Indeed.
