And Pretty Much The Whole Thing In A Nutshell . . . .

38. I'm not lashing out at anything

I'm pointing out the flaws in your logic and what we can do as a nation to educate ourselves so we don't allow such misguided views to fester. Perhaps it's the engineer in me but I don't think calling somebody that is ignorant of a subject ignorant is insulting.

I realize there's no hope that you'd allow actual science to change your mind. Do you think you're the first anti-GMO person I've run across on DU?

Do you not realize how cliched your dismissals of science that doesn't agree with your view are? I could turn on conservative talk or Fox News and find parallel arguments being made any day of the week. You are not unique in that regard, it's a problem with our education system.

Yes, I realize there's a PR problem. Similar to global warming, it's rooted in people that want to deny science and the tendency of the national media to pretend there are two legitimate sides to something when the scientific studies on the subjects have clearly shown there are not.

My hope is that the news media will stick to actual science on both issues.
