koan: "It has been my experience conservatives don't much believe in science?

Tim: "It's been my experience that liberals "don't much believe" in science when it contradicts what they believe in."

koan: "Most conservatives don't believe in evolution which is a ten cent concept. Most liberals do. Same with global warming.

I agree many liberals are nuts about vaccination and Floridated water, but fewer than conservatives.

Tim: "(To be fair it's not just liberals.) For example the liberal celebrities who don't believe in vaccinations, or in your case not believing the research about the relative lack of long run benefits from pre-K education."

I just quoted you the most recent research on early childhood development out of Stanford verified by brain scans.. Did you miss that post?

<<Of course the best scientific information can easily be wrong.>>

No it can't. IN fact given the vigorous peer review it is hard for it to be wrong!!

<<I wouldn't call disagreeing with one point from the research the same thing as "not believing in science", but you seem pretty quick to bring that charge against other who may disagree with some scientific finding. >>

It is common knowledge Republicans have an ongoing war with science. Including a Texas Paltform position to try and pass legislation against - get ready- HIGHER ORDER THINKING.

They wanted to pass legislation against teaching kids how to think at a high level!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why 80% of scientist's lean dem and only 6% lean pub!
