koan, I think "scientists" can be Democrats because

1. Yes - they are highly dependent on government or academic grant money and

2. Scientists live in a world of ideality and not reality. I am certain you have never had the pleasure of starting up a commercial scale plant of a process that worked fine in a lab. Trust me - the real world is an absolute surprise to these people.

You are the classic sheeple - you lack the real world experience in "science" to know reality. But you do know the talking points.

What you are really good at is taking isolated statistics and trying to make them something they are not. Pick a talking point and repeat it over and over and over and over and you think it will become true. In the board of the protected (note how many of your friends there are government employees) these lies get symbiotic cheers. In an open forum you get the push back of the real world.

How come the true loons of that board never venture out into open discussion - or simply protect themselves by banning alternate thought.

I challenge you to bring your loony lefty friends into open debate.
