But then again, I think words matter and I'll bet more than a few people consider my comments trivial.

I also consider the fact science was applied effectively in this way to be a reason the current administration and gop are against science....They've used it in tricky ways and know it's power therefore seek to limit it being used against them.

Ah! the power of power and control!
