<< Easy - it is a long way from liberal to loony. You and your friends like the Rat are plain loony - way past liberal. Rat and I are run of the mill liberals. I think I am a better judge than you of who a liberal is. <<As for scientists - you know my mantra on that one - simply follow the money. Engineers would be a far better sample - they have to do something real.>> As I was saying you are irrational. The above statement makes no sense at all. You think scientist do it for the money. That is a crazy idea Bob. You cannot face reality so you have to make stuff up. Scientists who work for corporations make a lot more than research scientists, or professors. Scientists are liberal and Democrats because Republicans are anti intellectual! I can list many things scientists take for granted like evolution and global warming, that most Republicans do not believe in. How can you say an engineer is more of a hard scientist than a physicist, or mathematician, or biologist, or chemist, or any other hard scientist? Much harder to get a PHD degree in theoretical physics than engineering! Tell me one thing that is not "REAL about any of the above sciences? You don't think physics is real. 40% of all products use quantum theory. Only six percent of America's scientists identify themselves as Republicans; fifty-five percent call themselves Democrats. By comparison, 23 percent of the overall public considers itself Republican, while 35 percent say they're Democrats. The ideological discrepancies were similar. Nine percent of scientists said they were "conservative" while 52 percent described themselves as "liberal," and 14 percent "very liberal." The corresponding figures for the general public were 37, 20 and 5 percent. huffingtonpost.com salon.com slate.com
