They are not usually going to be swayed by politics, as academia usually is truth oriented and diven by science, facts and logic.

Well.. that's taking it a bit too far, IMO.. Look at the politics involved with Global Warming. Now the EPA, based upon supposedly scientific data from the IPCC, has declared CO2 to be air pollution. So now we're all guilty of polluting the air with every breath we take.

But Warren has a personality that I find more trustworthy, until she proves otherwise.

We also have to remember the the credo: "Those who can, do.. Those who can't, teach"..

I would like to see a lot more of "I did it. These are the results I obtained. Now I'm going to show you how YOU can do it to".
