Good point. < claim scientists are all evil liberals trying force atheism on the population. > Never mind the theological aspect but now that you mention it, the first part is right. Some scientific research is needed on scientific bias to liberalism [in the Big Government sense not the original libertarian meaning]. It is probably like The Greenhouse Effect. Until this century, I had thought it was a question of science as to whether CO2 is a problem or not, but now it's a litmus test of left wing or right wing. Of course the question of what to do about it is rightly in the political spectrum if it is a problem, but I mean whether it is a fact or not and how big a fact it is. Since scientists largely get their money from grants and even in the corporate world they are stashed away in the operations departments far from customers and the free will world of buying and selling, they probably are biased towards the source of their money which is government. Bias is a well-demonstrated principle and people such as judges, doctors, company directors and others are uniformly expected to step aside if bias could be an issue, which it is presumed to be if money is involved. Scientists are generally considered to be human, so they are no doubt subject to that same bias. Hence, they are predominantly liberal/aka left wing and therefore of course believers in The Greenhouse Effect. For a long time I was puzzled by the beliefs people had about The Greenhouse Effect. When I put the cash flow mechanism together, it all made sense, as everything does when the right information is available. Similarly, the left-wing bias of scientists is similarly explained. A government grant to research this subject is obviously needed. Hmmm.... there's a buck to made elsewhere too. Get something declared a left wing issue and there are pots of gold going to flow. Obesity!! Food control. There is a vast fortune to be made. Get some scientists and government official on the case quick. Food is an umpty$billion industry so there is vast loot to be had. Mqurice
