Thread Name: BS: Science under attack.
Subject: RE: BS: Science under attack.
Science is not under attack by Cucinelli or any of the other corporate shills who link the culture wars with energy policy. It is our very lives and civilization that is under attack in order to preserve the short term profits of energy companies.




The real issue of science being under attack usually comes from the science community itself. Whenever linear thinging scientists disagree with great thinkers who tend to be right hempispheric thinkers there is always trouble and the threat of isolating the global thinker from the 'Normal' science community.

This is particularly true in genetic science. It turns out a geneticist by the name of LaMark beleived that genes can be changed by enviormental factors in as little as one generation and in rare cases within ones own lifetime. He was laughed out of town and the the term LaMarkian was used to describe nonsensical idiots in scinece.

It turns out Lamark was right, beyond his own expectations.


In short science is not under attack in the American culture war politicians who represent wealthy corporate interests. It is the trillion dollar energy corporations who feel their profits are under attack if people use their own eyes or science to link climate change disasters and energy company practices.
