>>The political correctness that has pervaded academia for the past few decades drives conservatives away from academia and puts academia at odds with the mainstream.>> I don't agree with that. It is very simple really. Most conservatives are religous. There is not one single fact or piece of logic to support religion. And all scientists are trained to go where the facts lead them. The facts lead ot evolution. Period. who woul dargue with that? >>In any event I think some skepticism is healthy and scientists need to have thick skins if they are really going to get out there and do what is needed. They need to do their work in spite of the far left as easily as they do it in spite for the far right. Partisanism left or right has no conscience and that is the biggest problem I have with it.>> Less, we humans have been pulling ourselves out of the tar muck of myth forever actually. It is only very recently that humans discoved "The Age of Reason" and been replacing myth with reason. REason, less, is what gave us civilzation and democracy!
